Alright gentlemen.
This is getting out of hand. I keep getting very random system crashes the
past months and I have been baffled as to what has been the cause. However,
everytime when I force reboot, I notice that the Firebug plugin has been
updated (as the tab opens when I launch Firefox). The past few times this
happened, I thought that it must be something else but this time I can
definitely confirm that this is the issue.
Here is my system:
OSX 10.6.8 (very latest update of snow leopard)
Firefox 14.0.1
I will find a way to make it not auto update any more. If there will be no
solution to this, I will be forced to remove this plugin which would be a
shame as I have been using it since the very first version.
