Usually it does not happen immediately after starting firefox but instead everything might be just fine for about 1/2h, maybe even 1h or so. Then, when it hits, it just hits without any warning. Neither does the system log anything nor does it panic in a controlled manner. It just stops reacting to anything at all. The keyboard falls dead. The network connections freeze. All disk activity stops. It will not even respond to a ping. The system is a 12 core AMD64 environment. The last kernel I have tried is now roughly 2 days old or so (compiled Nov 29th), but as far as I can tell in 2 days there have been no patches to the system which could have an obvious positive effect to this sort of a problem.
