System crashes when mouse wheel used in FF
Starting with the install of FF 10 I experience random hard system crashes when using the wheel mouse to scroll in FF. I have repeatedly tried to duplicate the crash in other apps (IE8 & MS Word & Excel) not been able to duplicate the problem. I can reproduce it in FF at will, sometimes on first movement of the mouse wheel, sometimes it takes several but it will happen. These are hard system crashes (system reboots) so no events are being logged.
I use a Microsoft wheel mouse (PS/2) and have changed from the default mouse driver installed by XP to the Microsoft Intellipoint driver but crashes still occur. I upgraded to FF 11 this evening but hard crash occurred on third roll of the mouse wheel. I am at a loss as to how to troubleshoot.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.

If your system crashes (not just Firefox) that points to a driver problem or a hardware problem. Try turning off hardware acceleration: Tools > Options > Advanced > General (and then restart.)
