I set my FF cache size to 400000, clicked OK, closed the browser and was staring
at my startup screen a second later - no warnings. Microsoft OCA reports a
driver error. I have also lost all my bookmarks (I took a backup yesterday,
fortunately).

My cache also seems to have been emptied.

Firefox is a user space application and can't crash win2k/NT/XP. It can only
trigger a bug in a kernel mode driver.

"Microsoft OCA reports adriver error" -> It's a driver error, contact try to get
an updated driver.

-> invalid (driver bug)
