Some of you may recall this but I'm going to mention it again just in
case. I have tried different kernels, different nvidia drivers,
different xorg, and a clean .firefox directory.
What it does you ask. When I open Firefox, it causes a kernel panic.
This is complete with flashing keyboard lights. What I have noticed.
It seems to do this when it is downloading something. It does this in
both KDE and Fluxbox. I don't think this has anything to do with the
GUI itself but I also don't think it is Firefox itself either. I think
Firefox is accessing something that causes it but not Firefox itself. I
have tried different versions of Firefox and they all do the same thing.
<<<< TIME DELAY HERE >>>>
I been working on gathering information for this for a while. I just
tried something else. I use the download helper plugin in Firefox to
download videos. Also, it crashes when I am downloading videos but that
is about all I use Firefox for. I had a light bulb moment and decided
to see if the same plugin was available for Seamonkey. It was available
so I installed it. It works the same as in Firefox. So, I closed as
much stuff as I could and started downloading a couple good size
videos. After a few minutes, you guessed it, kernel panic followed by a
reboot. To make sure it was not a fluke or something, I repeated the
process and got the same result.

I have just updated to adobe-flash-11.0.1.60_beta201107131-r1 and still
get the same results. So, my theory that it was not Firefox itself may
be correct since Seamonkey does it too now. Do I suspect flash? Yep, I
do. We all know what a cesspool that thing is. Is there another option
tho for videos that I can try? Do I know it is flash, nope I don't but
it sure does look fishy. Could it be the download helper tool itself?
That is one thing in common between both Seamonkey and Firefox. Just
saying. < shrugs >
I also upgraded my kernel again too. 2.6.39-gentoo-r3 now.
Right now, just look over my info, see if you see anything insane there
and if not, recommend something I can use besides flash. Maybe some
third party thing that works reasonably well. If youtube works, I
should be good to go since the sites I go to are using the same thing,
some even source youtube.
Thanks again.
