Why, or how would it do this? I would understand crashing firefox, but
the whole system?
It freezes X and therefore the keyboard and therefore necessitates a reboot.
Gosh, that's a bit harsh. Usually the "freeze X" is just a pointer grab.
You should be able to press Left-ALT-Ctrl-F1, log in, and kill firefox or
whatever. Worst case would be a need to kill the X server.
If X itself is freezing, you have a buggy X server, and that should be
fixed. You should still be able to log in remotely, but it might be harder
to recover from.
