My experience is if Safe Boot does not fix then it is a hardware problem. Logs may not show it if it is too severe. Yes I have seen these before.
Could be something is loose or poor contact connections or failing hard drive or some other component. If it requires a full OS reinstall don't expect that to last, something is getting trashed somewhere. If you are going to do a reinstall maybe worth trying on a different hard drive. I don't thing Firefox should do this. A freeze maybe but not one you could not kill the app (Clover-option-escape keys) Are you running a beta version of firefox, or an old version (eg 3.x) or something. How about TenFourFox ? That would be faster anyway -- I am running 5.0 TenFourFox on my 1.5ghz Powerbook G4 right now and have had no problems with it. On Sep 1, 5:35 am, "R. A.
