Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
This is for both firefox in dapper and edgy.
It seems that if a web page contains an extremely long line of unwrapped
text (for example in a pre element), then firefox displays the text
wrapped on the same line, so that it iverlaps with the beginning of that
line of text.
While most video drivers display this weirdness, the nvidia display
drivers (the non-free ones) seem to either crash and restart whole X, or
just freeze it completely (not even mouse cursor moves).
The bug also affects Epiphany, as it uses the same rendering engine.
The end result is that computer crashes seemingly randomly while
browsing the web.
** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
