I have had this "system dies" symptom on several systems and traced the problem back to an insufficiently big SWAP file, or the SWAP was turned off entirely. On a machine that has this problem, you run "top" and the swap line will show 0 available. I'm not denying other possible problems, but this one definitely did cause system hangs here. It is not unique to firefox, of course, but firefox is one program that can trigger it because so many people write crappy javascript and other ajax web programs that system resources are strained. If you leave firefox unattended whil it is hooked on to some web page that is running crap on your system, well, I guess you get what you deserve. -- Paul E.
