When I'm viewing a chain of FLV (flash) videos on the web, if I don't close and reopen the browser regularly, it BLUE SCREENS my laptop.... well not blue screens, as much as it forces a Memory Purge then a full shutdown... so .. Black Screens? This isn't good for my computer, and I've isolated the solo cause of this incident to Firefox itself. (tested with no plugins etc..)
