Hiya, has anyone else experienced games crashing to desktop when running Firefox in background?

I was having a graphics problem a few months ago where Crysis and other DX10 games crashed altogether.

Now, I've got a new GPU, power supply and also popped in another 1GB of memory (and done a full OS reinstall).

Everything's fine except if I run games like Braid or Batman Arkham Asylum, it goes to the desktop after loading the game. The game is still running on the taskbar. This only happens when Firefox is running too, and doesn't happen if I have Vista Basic on instead of Aero.

Checked GPU, PSU and CPU temp + speeds and they're never in any danger areas so has Firefox and Nvidia got a conflict or something?

It's no biggie as the solution is to not run FF when gaming, or switch to Basic, but would love to get to the bottom of it.
