Hello all. I use Firefox Portable 3.6 on my WinXP SP3 desktop machine, and in addition to various crashes, I get a BSOD pretty regularly when visiting the US Navy Human Resources site (https://chart.donhr.navy.mil). I may or may not have the nerve to do further testing, although I do have the last RAM dump if needed. I think the only extra extensions I've added are Flash 10.0 and Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.2.
Since this is a third-party package I assume that this is more likely to get fixed if I report it here (not Firefox's own tracker), but if I'm wrong please tell me so. What other information ought I to record?
Any insight you folks can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I am running XP SP3 and same version of FF. I click on your link and get the following message.

Right. As I recall, I have to create the security exception and run a few searches before it happens. Works fine on IE 8 though!
For the purpose of this discussion I have to assume that the US Navy is not trying to make low-level adjustments to my computer when I visit their site. (Because if it is, then there's nothing I can do about it anyway. :>
That's not normal at all. There's probably something weird about the computer configuration which is making the computer unstable.

An application in Windows should be incapable of triggering a BSOD. It should require a driver to do that.

very true BSIOD are driver based generally. I use a BSOD viewer to review the info and figure out what the issue is nice little freebie program
