Bug Description
Hi!
There are various bug reports about Firefox freezing the system but I was unable to find one that talks about hard freeze when STARTING Firefox. And that's what happening for me -- it's enought that Firefox is launched and the whole system hard freezes. There's no FF window shown, everything just freezes.
Epiphany works fine, so does Konqueror, Dillo etc.
It started to happen after upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy.
My hardware is Fujitsu-Siemens AmiloPro V3505 laptop running 2.6.22-14-generic SMP kernel.
I'll be happy to provide any additional info.
Regards,
Max

I don't know if it's relevant but Gutsy on my laptop is freezing left and right. Everything was fine with Feisty. Other bug reports I filed about freeze issues are #179813 and #179817.
