I wonder what your system does that my systems do not? Perhaps it is the
distro that is the difference. I'm not going to leap to the defence of
Netscape/Moz as I do have issues with those but I have never had to
reboot because of them (in about 6 years). Using Linux fulltime as a
desktop at work and home I thought I would have come across this for
sure.
Any chance of more info (versions/distro etc)? You've got me curious ;)
