That link above is to my own previous question I had made. The thread was closed, so I couldn't add to it... but the issue is not resolved. I had thought I had found a solution, but I was mistaken. Firefox 18.0.x '''''(plus)''''' hardware acceleration '''''(plus)''''' Nvidia optimus '''''(plus)''''' Windows 7 Aero desktop '''''(equals)''''' crash Remove any of those items and crashing does not occur. For me I choose to turn off Aero. Side note, I am enjoying significantly higher performance and better video quality in Netflix using Waterfox 18.0.1
