Certain google search pages cause intel mac to kernal panic. This was an issue with Firefox 2.0 & now Camino. Seamonkey 1.06 was fine, but the latest beta started kernal panicking my system as well.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. relaunch browser
2. Type in keyword for search
3. Browser look sup paoge and kernal panics system
Actual Results:  
Click link or type in new URL or Keyword, when page loads, system Kernal Panics

Expected Results:  
System Kernal Panic'd had to turn off and reboot

Just load the page. I dont have these issue in Safar, but I prefer Firefox/Camino/Seamonkey.

These are great browsers, but they make me nervous by kernal panicking my system.

Please, some one find this and fix it. I havnt found this bug listed on bugzilla, but have been having the issue for over 5 months. a simple unexpected quit would be more tolerable.

It's not possible for an entirely user-space app like Camino or Firefox to be the *cause* of a kernel panic. Clearly they are triggering panics on your system, but the actual cause would have to be an OS bug, a problem in your OS installation, or a hardware problem. Since no-one else has reported anything like this, that implies it's one of the latter two, and there's no way for us to work around a problem that is specific to your machine.

Sorry we can't help, but there's simply nothing that could be done in Camino; this would be something to perhaps take up with AppleCare. Closing INVALID since this isn't actually a Camino bug.
