I usually have an Opera web browser open, looking at one of my Gmail

the Opera session just quits and disappears from the screen. When I
restart Opera, it offers to restore the previous session, and this
seems to work, although I have to log in to Gmail again.
I can't find any trace in system log files of what causes this
disappearance, and wonder where to look to track this down. The Opera
session stays up for one to a few days, so this is not a high-priority
problem. Just annoying.
Fedora Core 3, kernel 2.6.12-1.1378_FC3smp, Opera 9.02, if it matters.
I can think of two things right off that might cause this. One is some
Javascript running that causes something in the browser to refresh on a
timer. A bug in the Javascript engine then causes the browser to crash
after a period of time (memory leak?). The second would be some browser
plugin (Flash, Java, some multimedia thing) that causes it to crash. I
used to have problems with the Flash plugin in Mozilla/Firefox crashing
my browser.
