Package: firefox
Version: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.6-3
If I do the following:
- view source on a certain html file (linked below) in firefox
- select the second line of text and do ctrl-c
- try to switch workspace using a keyboard shortcut in gnome
the xserver crashes. I am using the x86_64-1.0-8762 drivers downloaded
from nvidia and patched with the NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-8178-U012206.diff.txt
patch. It doesn't happen on my 32bit centrino machine using the same
version of firefox. The working machine is using etch with the unstable
version of firefox. The broken amd64 machine is using unstable debian
amd64.
The dastardly file is here:

Well since you can't reproduce it anymore I'm going to close. The bug
likely is not in firefox in any case.
