** Description changed: Binary package hint: firefox I can cause my entire system to hang on cue if I do the following: + + Note: This only happens when I have a bunch of tabs open. I reported it + directly after a crash, but attempts to recreate it with only one page + open have failed. I'll do more testing and comment below. 1) Find a page with sufficient load time. http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.usb%20drive works really consistantly for me, but it happens on many pages. 2) Scroll down the page when it's still loading. I do this a lot; I'm an impatient fellow. 3) The system stops accepting keyboard input and hangs. The mouse is still movable, but the system does not recover... at least not within ten minutes or so, I stopped waiting.
