 I would love to help.  Allow me to describe what happened.  I understand
 there is innumerable variables and do not know which ones are important to
 developers.

 It began after shutting down a virtual machine running Tails 0.10.1 when a
 message popped up saying my computer must restart.  This message showed
 for a few seconds before my computer instantly shut off and began reboot.

 I then had a problem connecting to Tor's network (apparently due to lack
 of UPnP device).  I disabled/reenabled my router's UPnP and Vidalia
 connected to Tor.  When Vidalia opened Firefox, my computer got stuck and
 rebooted again.

 These events happen rather quickly, but I believe that is how it happened.
 If there is any way I can help, just email von at temple.edu!  I am ever
 grateful for Tor's team!  You guys are great.''''''



 I will mention one other thing.  Firefox said it crashed when Vidalia
 reopened it.  Also, when trying to open firefox from the application
 located at /contents/MacOS/Firefox after Vidalia is connected to Tor,
 nothing happens.  Please fix this.  If I quit Firefox, there should be a
 way of restarting it without having to shut down my relay!
