I've got a strange problem.
About a week ago, I had a 512 memory module die on me, I figured it out 
and removed it.  Since then I have a new problem which may or may not be 
related.

Now, quite often when I am using firefox pre release 1.0, firefox just 
quits.  It will sometimes open the feedback agent, sometimes not.  Most 
of the time I just restart firefox and it will be fine, but also once I 
had to kill every firefox and mozilla process to get it to run again.  
Beyond just quitting, sometimes it will fully log me out.  It only 
happens when I am actively using firefox.  There is no pattern except I 
have to be clicking on links, or the scrollbar, or a bookmark.  If 
firefox is just open and sitting there it doesn't happen.  Other 
programs don't do it either.

*Here is my question: Is it even possible for a program like firefox to 
crash the system so bad it logs the user out?  *On windows I wouldn't 
doubt it at all, but I've never seen anything like this on linux.  
Linux, in my limited experience, is much more modular.  If a program 
crashes, that's it, no real damage done.

I could just try reinstalling firefox, but if the problem is from 
firefox I would like to gather information and submit a bug.  I googled 
and looked on bugzilla, but found nothing.  To be perfectly honest, I'm 
not even sure where to look for error logs that might have something to 
do with this.

Oh yeah, I'm running fully updated Fedora core one on an AMD Athlon XP 
1800 machine with (now) 384 mb of memory.

Thanks in advance,
Michael
