If another list would be more appropriate for this topic, please feel free to redirect. I had posted several weeks ago about constant hard lockups of my amd64 box. At first, I attributed the problem to GNOME, then to my kernel config, but now it appears to me that the problem really lies with Mozilla/Firefox. I'm currently using the xfce4 desktop, and have experimented with other setups, including plain vanilla twm, vtwm, sawfish, ... Xorg is the base for all. In all scenarios, Mozilla and Firefox invariably lock up the machine. Dead, cold, hard. Powering off the machine is the only way out. I've rebuilt libraries, all port dependencies, as well as Mozilla and Firefox themselves, so many times I've lost count now, but invariably with the same results. Each browser will run OK for a few minutes, then the whole machine goes south. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? On the amd64 platform or any other? Any solution? I'm currently avoiding using either browser like the plague, resorting to Konqueror mainly for the time being. But I would, of course, like to find a resolution to this problem. Debugging is practically impossible, as no information is left behind anywhere after this happens. I'm totally at a loss as to how to proceed. -- Conrad J.
