Firefox Version 2.0 causes my PC to lockup. There is no keyboard or mouse response. Operations will complete in the background but the KB/Mouse are dead. The freeze typicially occurs while selecting the BACK arrow on the navigation bar. V1.5 doesn't display the same problem and is stable on my platform.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using the BACK arrow in the navigation bar.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Can go days before locking up, unable to accurately reproduce. When fails, the PC is completely unresponsice to any keyboard or mouce input. Also, breifely pressing should do a safe shutdown of PC, it doesn't. The only way to fix the problem is to force a hard shutdown of the PC.

Did you try:

- Firefox's safe-mode to exclude extension/theme problems
- a reinstall in a new empty folder
- a new profile?
