I been working on gathering information for this for a while. I just
tried something else. I use the download helper plugin in Firefox to
download videos. Also, it crashes when I am downloading videos but that
is about all I use Firefox for. I had a light bulb moment and decided
to see if the same plugin was available for Seamonkey. It was available
so I installed it. It works the same as in Firefox. So, I closed as
much stuff as I could and started downloading a couple good size
videos. After a few minutes, you guessed it, kernel panic followed by a
reboot. To make sure it was not a fluke or something, I repeated the
process and got the same result.
Dale,
I would suspect the download-helper-plugin as that is common in both the
Firefox and Seamonkey crashes.
Can you provide a link to the plugin you use to allow others to test this to
see if it works for them?
I'm not sure you are right but it is possible. Here is a linky:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-Us/seamonkey/addon/video-downloadhelper/
It's pretty straight forward. I can get a failure by going to youtube
and starting the download of two or three fairly long movies. I usually
middle click and open the video in a new tab. Then start the download
and close the tab. I usually walk off or watch TV while it downloads.
I have the slow DSL here so it takes a bit to download but it usually
crashes in a minute or two. Firefox crashes faster but Seamonkey only
takes a couple minutes or something.
If anyone tests this, let me know if it messes up. I'm on amd64
multilib too. That may have some effect.
Thanks.
Dale
