I have two PC boxes with different OS, one is XP pro while the other is win7 ultimate.
Software: Firefox nightly Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a6pre) Gecko/20100619 Minefield/3.7a6pre
Webgl is enabled for all sites.
Every time I visit the demo here: http://cubicvr.org/CubicVR.js/BloomTest1.html
My Win7 always tell me "Driver crash and restarted" and the Firefox is hanging forever without crash, so there is no crash report.
XP box works fine.
Hardware:
XP                            Win7
Intel Prescott 3G             AMD Phenom II X2 555
880G                          915P
Embedded ATI4250              Nvidia GTX 7900GTX
OGL 3.0 support               OGL 2.0 support, 3.0 partial.

If I set to use direct2d renderer, it also crashes.

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is
far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox
3.6.x or later and a new profile
(http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the
closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and
comment on the bug.
