We already explained you above in the other thread. That shouldn't be
possible in a sane system. You haven't found the root of the problem,
just the way to avoid it. The problem is in either the kernel (or one
of its modules) or the hardware. Firefox (or any other userland
program) has not the power to do this if the kernel doesn't allow it
or a hardware failure doesn't screw up something.
