Is there anyone else who experiences this bug? It's pretty severe on my system. 

System environment:
WinXP SP2 /w updates
Latest Nvidia drivers with Nview enabled
Firefox 1.0.x - 1.5 Beta (IMHO it applies to RCs as well)

Bug Description:
1. Reload/load a complex page (like SLashdot's comments)
2. Firefox starts using up 100% CPU time
3. User forced to kill firefox via Task manager
4. Killing firefox results in explorer.exe using up 100% CPU time
5. Windows XP is totally unresponsive and the only way to fix that is reboot

IMHO its a vey severe bug, but it seems very hard to reproduce.

It seems to have stopped. I am using Firefox 2.0.0.1 with Nvidia 9.3.7.1 drivers. But I do think that Firefox was responsible for those crashes.

Timeless, 
was this your crash or was it pulled from talkback?  
I sampled a few on talkback and found nothing in the stacks.

Thanks.  As long as it works. :)

not sure, my laptop doesn't have an view in my \winnt directory tree, and i don't have nvidia cards at home.

i don't usually use thunderbird. it's possible (slightly likely?) that it's a coworker's.

if it's fixed by some other version of nvidia drivers, then certainly resolve it as worksforme.

note that 100% cpu isn't strictly equivalent to crashing, the stack overflow according to talkback took all of 32 seconds (pretty darn fast).

Cleaning up old blocklisting bugs. Please reopen if this is still relevant.
