Wierd issue with Firefox, flicker then hangs OSX

[lixuelai]

I have a MX Revolution mouse with the free scroll. Every time I go to this page:

And scroll from top to bottom and back repeatly with the free scroll (ie very fast), the entire screen will sometimes flicker and then hang. Sometimes it does not flicker but still hangs.

 

I reset my overclock and stuck a fan next to my case incase I am overheating and it made no differece. I tested my hardware in Windows anyway so that should not have been the issue. I tested the same page in Safari and it was perfectly fine. However I am not ready to write this off as a Firefox issue as I never had Firefox causing the entire OS to hang. I am thinking maybe it is a video driver issue. I am using a GTX 260 with netkas's injector with a 30" LCD hooked up. Are there any gpu testing tools in OS X? I tried Xbench and Geekbench both ran fine.

 

Thanks.

I fixed it. I had QuartzGL on which is a big no-no with Firefox and Flash. Safari has it off by default which was why it was working fine.
