Some of you may recall this but I'm going to mention it again just in 
case.  I have tried different kernels, different nvidia drivers, 
different xorg, and a clean .firefox directory.

What it does you ask.  When I open Firefox, it causes a kernel panic.  
This is complete with flashing keyboard lights.  What I have noticed.  
It seems to do this when it is downloading something.  It does this in 
both KDE and Fluxbox.  I don't think this has anything to do with the 
GUI itself but I also don't think it is Firefox itself either.  I think 
Firefox is accessing something that causes it but not Firefox itself.  I 
have tried different versions of Firefox and they all do the same thing.

<<<<  TIME DELAY HERE >>>>

I been working on gathering information for this for a while.  I just 
tried something else.  I use the download helper plugin in Firefox to 
download videos.  Also, it crashes when I am downloading videos but that 
is about all I use Firefox for.  I had a light bulb moment and decided 
to see if the same plugin was available for Seamonkey.  It was available 
so I installed it.  It works the same as in Firefox.  So, I closed as 
much stuff as I could and started downloading a couple good size 
videos.  After a few minutes, you guessed it, kernel panic followed by a 
reboot.  To make sure it was not a fluke or something, I repeated the 
process and got the same result.

root@fireball / # emerge -pv seamonkey

I have just updated to adobe-flash-11.0.1.60_beta201107131-r1 and still 
get the same results.  So, my theory that it was not Firefox itself may 
be correct since Seamonkey does it too now.  Do I suspect flash?  Yep, I 
do.  We all know what a cesspool that thing is.  Is there another option 
tho for videos that I can try?  Do I know it is flash, nope I don't but 
it sure does look fishy.  Could it be the download helper tool itself?  
That is one thing in common between both Seamonkey and Firefox.  Just 
saying. < shrugs >

I also upgraded my kernel again too.  2.6.39-gentoo-r3 now.

Right now, just look over my info, see if you see anything insane there 
and if not, recommend something I can use besides flash.  Maybe some 
third party thing that works reasonably well.  If youtube works, I 
should be good to go since the sites I go to are using the same thing, 
some even source youtube.

Thanks again.

Dale
