Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: yelp
This failure can occur if Firefox has windows open, even if the user is
not directly interacting with any of them. One failure occurred while
interacting with Places, but it usually occurs during interaction with a
Firefox window. This failure has not occurred when only a single
Firefox window is open.
In 9.04, this could happen a few times a month. In 9.10, this failure
seems to occur several times in a given week. When this failure occurs,
power cycling or use of Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will be required to reset the
system. Unfortunately, power cycling is sometimes the only way to reset
the system when this failure occurs.
My shared (XP/Ubuntu) data partition is formatted NTFS. That partition
was trashed when this failure occurred before I had configured the
X-window restart key sequence because a large 4GB file transfer was
interrupted by power cycling. However, that data partition would
probably have been trashed had it been formatted Ext3.
Lesson learned. Execute large file transfers using XP until this
failure gets corrected.
