Mozilla 3.6 EPIC FAIL!
Right. Got everything going again. Quickbooks? Check. Callstation (Voicemail and phone) Check. Pidgin? Check. Mozilla?
Not so check.
So I’m running Mozilla, doing the morning surf, and the window blinks and freezes. What follows next is a system fail of epic proportion. Yes, a 32-bit app Brought a 64-bit operating system to its knees.
So, not believing that this could possibly be the case, and figuring it must be hardware because both times it happened my RAID wanted to rebuild, I tested the drives. They’re fine. And Mozilla under 32 bit Fedora worked fine.
To test my hypothesis, I installed Opera and ran that all day.
The system’s still up.
You do the math. And yes, I googled, and found reports of Mozilla crashing on Win 7 x64, but not blowing Windows completely the fuck away.
