I downloaded Firefox 3.5 from the M. Harris site and, for the most part, have had good luck with it. But I have also had hard crashes that take down CentOS, not just Firefox.
That is definitely not a firefox bug.
Okay. But there is some kind of issue between Firefox 3.5 and Xorg. I reverted back to Firefox 3.0.11 and it works fine.
It happened to me twice on eBay (on the same page) -- and now I can replicate it as many times as I want by going to...
http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter ...and choosing one of the two newsletters, linked there.
I've just visited that page and clicked on both links and it works fine. I've even disabled all of my security/privacy extensions on that page and it still works fine. If the page is causing your system to crash, I'd start examining /var/log/messages and your X server log for kernel panics or Oops et al.
Interesting. I'll see what I can find in /var/log/messages and share anything that might point to the problem. Thanks for writing.
