My computer at one point used to lock up and have to be forcibly rebooted whenever something tried to use OpenGL, which was fine since I didn't use any OpenGL applications.

If Mozilla started playing around with the rendering preferences, perhaps enabling OpenGL hardware acceleration, that would definitely not have been OK. I don't need my browser deciding to suddenly surprise me by crashing my system.
