FlyerTalk blue-screens my laptop
I "kid" you not. The past couple days, when I post on FT, and only when I have the posting window open, my computer (Dell Latitude d830) bluescreens with a page fault . This only happens with FT, and only when I'm typing a post, and only on Firefox. Also it doesn't happen consistently - happened 4-5 times yesterday, once today. I wised up and switched to IE just for FT posts
I know this is incredibly unlikely (I feel ashamed even asking this question since I'm a software engineer), but has anyone seen something like this before? Some firefox bug I'm guessing?
In any case, weird huh?

Isn't there a crash log or something that tells you what crashes on Firefox? That log may give you some clues to "locate" the troublemaker/s.
I used to have similar problems with IE when surfing FT. The problem file was flash6.ocx.
