Firefox froze computer.

[Derek White]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Had http://www.eternal-lands.com/page/screenshots.php open in one tab and was playing runescape in another tab.

Both times I exited RuneScape (and it was trying to reload whatever page it goes to when you log out, I don't know what it is because it always freezes), Firefox froze up.
The first time, I just had to force quit (it was frozen).
Second time, it froze up my graphics card, only the mouse worked, and I had to hard-restart the computer.

Using the jockey ATI drivers, not the ATI/Radeon drivers.

Using Sun Java JRE from synaptic.

Note: Anything that causes/necessitates a hard-restart is a security issue IMO.

Accidentally added Mozilla Firefox while trying to add sun-java-jre, guess java isn't bugged here...Can someone remove it and add java as "Also Affects"?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
