Unfortunately I have neither of these packages installed and I still get the
crash. I do not get the Zebra stripe thing, just a black screen that the
only way I can seem to recover from is by pressing the power button.
 Fortunately the boot process is so much faster I have not thrown the whole
thing out the window but it is getting old.

I rarely use Firefox, but that does not seem to impact my crashing
positively or negatively. I get crashes at sporadic times. Sometimes it is
five minutes, sometimes it is two days.
