This won't be of direct help to you, Karthik, but I've been seeing this
same problem running Firefox 1.5.0.6 (the current version for all
platforms, according to Firefox ... I assume you meant to write 1.5.0.1
so are a bit back) on my Windows 2000 workstation.
In my case, the additional details are that the mouse continues to work
for a bit, at least for moving the pointer, though I can't get anything
to respond to clicks. After a few clicks, the machine becomes totally
unresponsive at the UI (though I haven't checked response over the LAN)
and requires a power-cycle reset) ... I've surmised that the event queue
gets filled up because Firefox is not responding to mouse events.
I only mention it because of the possibility that we're both seeing a
Firefox problem, once that is platform independent but associated with
relatively recent versions of Firefox.

Hello,
I recently installed Fedora core 5 on an intel dual-core CPU box. The
machine froze up while running gnome2 while I was engaged in simple
browsing activity using firefox 1.5.01.
The "freezing" occurred twice one after the other and during both these
instances I was using firefox to browse the web (while having at least 2-4
firefox tabs open). The machine froze up in both instances and did not
respond to the keyboard/mouse or to a remote login/ping. I checked
/var/log/messages just before the "restart" line and did not find any
unusual entries (+/-5 lines around the restart lines from
/var/log/messages is included below).
I was wondering if:
(a) this matched any known issue with FC5 and intel hardware
(b) if there was any way that I could _recover_ control upon a system
freeze such as this?
All responses are appreciated.
Thanks,
