268782 - Firefox 1.0 locks up pretty randomly and causes OS/X 10.3.6 to be unusable!

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 271300

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Miles Lane]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040928
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040928

I wish I could give better details.  Suffice it to say that Firefox PR is vastly
more stable for me than Firefox 1.0 (or any of the recent nightly builds).
The problem is that I will be adding extensions, restarting the application,
using the web and then I will click on a link or checkbox and then get the
spinning wheel showing that the application is busy.  The wheel never goes away.
 Trying to "Force Quit" fails to kill the application processes.  Also, any
attempts to launch other applications from that point on fail.  Likewise, I am
unable to shut OS/X down.  I am forced to "hard shutdown" the machine by holding
the power button down for three seconds.
In the most recent instance of this occuring, I was unable to start either
Firefox PR or Firefox 1.0 after restarting the machine.  I tried deleting my
profile, but that did not help.  Something is deeply messed up!

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
The crash occurs at unpredictable times and I have not been able to discern
reproduction steps.
