*The browsers have crashed this way a few times in the last couple of days, but it wasn’t util today, when I tried this one repeatedly and it crashed every time, that I realized it was specific to this URL (among others, possibly).
I can go to the site’s main page with no problem. I can open the various catalog pages (by genre, by line, etc.) with problem. I can even go directly to my titles with problem.
But if I try to access the URL above (or any particular author’s page), my browser crashes every time, without fail. Either browser. The screen goes black and then the Suse log-in page comes up. I type in my user password (which I don’t ordinarily have to do when I start the computer) and it restarts. And a terminal window opens (for my user account, not root).
I have no idea why this happening now. It never did before my video driver issues, so I assume they’re related somehow. Anyone have any idea how? Or how to fix it?
I opend the terminal and typed in firefox, hit enter.
It started another instance of Firefox.
When I tried to open the URL, the screen went black, I logged in, and it restarted. A new terminal window opened, but it was blank. Not even the line where I typed firefox.
Look for a file in your hidden user files .xsession-errors
Can you post it here

I also get a crash on your web site using OpenSuse 10.3, KDE 3.5 and FF
3.55. Looks like something on you web page activates a bug in FF.

The good news is that it means there’s nothing wrong with my system. The bad news is, that means lots of people could be getting crashes when they try to look at the site.
