I am running Mac OS X 10.7.4 and Firefox 15.0.1 on a Macbook Pro 9,1. Almost every time I close firefox, the computer freezes completely and/or has a kernel panic, and in all situations I have to hard-reboot the machine. I've tried uninstalling other 3rd party apps and have sourced the problem to firefox. When I view the system report of the crash after rebooting, it says that the source of the crash was from a firefox process and something related to Nvidia Geforce. I was wondering if this may be related to the graphics switching on the new macbooks (I have a intel 4000 + a Nvidia 650m), however, I still get crashes when I turn off automatic graphics switching. My other thought was perhaps this problem has to do with hardware acceleration. Unfortunately, I tried disabling hardware acceleration in firefox and it still caused the computer to crash.

I'm happy to hear any suggestions! I don't want to have to switch to another browser, but using firefox 15 in its current state has made my computer unstable and unusable.

Which is it, hanging or crashing, or both?

My main problem is that the computer itself becomes unresponsive or has a kernel panic (in both cases I have to hard reboot). This always happens when firefox is running.

Did you try to check for plugins that cause Firefox not to close properly?
