480512 - complete system crash after update to version 3

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[sofiero]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de; rv:1.8.1.20) Gecko/20081217 Firefox/2.0.0.20
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de; rv:1.8.1.20) Gecko/20081217 Firefox/2.0.0.20

after the update to the version 3, Firefox increasingly crashes down (which means, it is freezing, and I had to kill the process in the task manager), and after a while, even the problem message system doesn't work - it simply shut down. And I got some blue screens which I could remove, but yesterday, it was completely unpossible to reboot the system, so I strated in the safe modus and deinstalled version 3 and installed version 2.0.0.20 - now the system is working again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start version 3
2. work with it
3. firefox freezes, a blue screen appears
Actual Results:  
a blue screen, only removeable via safe modus

Expected Results:  
work ??? send a problem message to mozilla.org? not produce a complete system crash?

Sorry but a OS crash is the fault of the OS. It's possible that only Firefox3 triggers this bug but it's still an OS bug that can't be fixed from us.

I would upgrade to the latest graphic card driver...
