Yahoo Games and FireFox hang my system!!1


I recently started playing hold'em on Yahoo Games and when I click stand up to exit the game, my system hangs!!!!! After reboot, I can't load fireFox up even after creating a new profile -- using mozilla to write this. What files do I need to delete to gain access to my default firefox profile? Has anyone else seen this hang? This is repeatable. It happened last night also.

I'm using Fedora Core 1.
2.4.22-1.2197.nptl i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

Just in case this is an interaction thing.
I have xmms playing ogg files while I'm playing hold'em. Xmms is accessing a NFS share to get the ogg files.

I think I have narrowed it down to a potential hardware/ReiserFS/mount issue. I have an LSI PCI sata raid controller with 2 SATA drives attached. Recently I formatted both drives to RieserFS and mounted them. During the last "hang", I did a crtl-alt-2 to get a console screen and there were several DMA errors to hda -> EIDE that has the mount points for the SATA drives. I still couldn't log into the sytem, so I had to reboot the system. After rebooting and unmounting the ReiserFS partitions, my system has been stable. I almost wondering if it is a ReiserFS thing, becauses these drive were ext3 and mounted with no instability. hmmm

I changed the drives over to JFS and updated my /etc/fstab. So far so good. I thought ReiserFS was supposed to be highly stable?!
