Yes, all my computers running OS 10.7.3 experience a crash while using Firefox 11.0 when navigating from icloud.com to another url.

This happens frequently although not all of the time.

Upon Firefox's crash a report is sent to Firefox but evidently they and/or Apple have not resolved this issue.

It is quite frustrating!

After updating to Firefox 14.0.1 on Mac Intel Quad Core Xeon, OS 10.6.8 iCloud Mail slows or freezes the browser and I have to force quit. Hope this can be resolved.

PS

(This does not seem to be a problem with Safari 5.1.7.)

I get this all the time. It's a typing speed issue for log-in crashes. The fix is to wait two or three seconds once you've done with your password entry. . then hit return. If you hit return too fast after your password entry - Crash. It doesn't matter how fast you type your username and password. .it's the moments before you hit return that seem to screw up the log-in scripts on iCloud's end.
