Ah, ok. I'd also try a hard drive scan to make sure firefox's stuff
isn't sitting on bad sectors.
Applications shouldn't be able to cause a kernel panic, period. So if it
isn't hardware, it's a kernel bug by definition.
I'm going to try having a fresh .mozilla directory as soon as I can.
I'm sort of enjoying having KDE right now. ;-)
I don't think it is the hard drive. I did a fresh install on a spare
drive with the same results. so, I'm beginning to think it is a kernel
bug but the thing is, I have tried several versions of that too.
Basically, this is plain confusing. I can't see how Firefox, or
something it has to access, can cause a kernel panic. Thing is, I can't
think of anything else that could be the problem but trying different
versions of a kernel makes me think it is not the kernel either.
