Comment 36 for bug 107093

I think its a different problem - with the system freeze that I am referring to, and others I believe, ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work either, and there is a wild amount of IO occurring on the hard drive (the /home partition in my case). The only solution is a reset-button reboot.

There are various reports of FF freezing itself and maybe the X server, but not the system, when the flash plugin is being used. I've not had that problem.

For other readers - still no system freeze after the cache-clear.
