I would be MORE than curious.
Because if it IS a firexox problem, then they have a serious
architectural problem. But the problems is this:
No matter how badly any application misbehaves,
it should not impact the O/S.

So, what are we dealing with here is probably never going to
be known. For one thing, Windows is not trully multitasking O/S,
and you can see it in ALL sorts of cases.
The very fact that some up can totally lock up your O/S
is the problem of O/S more than anything else.

So, try to talk to bill gates.

Happy, happy people.
Happy, happy people.
