[Bug 362107] Re: [Jaunty] Firefox causes system hang on large pages

[Tim T.]

Currently around 15 miles away from the offending machine, but:
- nvidia drivers are from fresh, up to date jaunty install.
  I'll try removing the accellerated drivers tonight, see if there is
any difference.


- Problem occurs with:
   - google reader especially for large feeds (e.g. the digg or reddit
latest feeds).
   - zorkonline.com (During a battle events are gradually revealed,
this can take a long time.)

 - always happens if I use the scroll wheel to scroll down
  I've also had this happen on a normal forum

I think we'd better move away from the term crash; it's a system
lockup. The system stops responding to any keyboard input, and will
not event toggle the CapsLock light.
-> haven't tried connecting over the network yet; I'll try that
tonight (if the lockup happens again.)

Thanks for your input!
