Version: 2.16.1

What were you doing when the application crashed?
I was reading an article at rahoi.com in Firefox, while a Flash presentation was loading. After several sec I knew something was wrong b/c the "system busy" cursor kept spinning, I couldn't stop the process or quit Firefox, and finally did a CTL-ALT-BACKSPACE to reset. Afterwards, the system said FF was still running, but I didn't see it in the tray or in System Monitor  -- then Sys Monitor itself hung and I had to Force Quit. 

Not sure what is going on here, if it is software related or if I have a hardware issue... Thanks for checking into it.
