if your OS crashed, perhaps your OS is at fault? :)

this bugreport is not really usable, so i marked it INVALID.

Comment 2

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

it's invalid because Mozilla can't crash win2k/NT/XP.
It can only trigger a bug in your hardware or your driver

I agree the bug is not too usable. But I thought you should get a sense of how unstable mozilla is and this is why I bothered. This type of os crash has happened a lot on my system with 1.2 and now 1.3a. Mozilla seems to be crashing my os at random. When I went back to mozilla 1.0.x the crash stopped happening. I can reproduce this crash if you like. If you don't want bug reports don't ask for them.

Hardware is stable otherwise. If its in a driver, this might as well be OS as far as the end user is concerned. I am not instrumented to track crashes in drivers. System is stable otherwise, failure could be in atguard firewall. I will turn off atguard and verify before sending in more bugs.

Bug is reproducible. Same url. 
Crash happens every time.
System stable otherwise.

I installed the latest ATI Radeon video 
driver and the problem seems to be gone.
No more crash.
