I have recently installed Lucid Lynx on my PC and it mostly runs fine except for one thing: when I try to start Firefox it runs fine fir a bit then it seems to crash X. The display stops, and blinks and keeps on blinking and at this point the only thing that I can do is to press the power button and restart. Opera and other browsers do not seem to do this.
