kernel panic when using firefox on Acer Aspire One

[Daniel Drummond]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I am experiencing frequent kernel panics using jaunty, always occurring when performing some action in firefox - it could be downloading a file, or opening a new tab, or watching a flash movie. The Caps Lock light starts flashing and the whole screen freezes up, and I have not been able to recover the computer from this state without a power-off.

Haven't had any kernel panics since getting updates a few days ago.

The bug exists on my Acer Aspire One when I work with the Firefox 3.0.8. It's very often.

Closing this bug.
Steve your problem is possibly i separate issue than his since his was fixed and yours isn't also you version of Firefox is not up to date.
Before filing a separate bug please update to 3.0.10 than test if it still happens file a new bug report.
