Stangely, the exact same symptoms have been happening for me after the upgrade from 12.04 to 13.04. Once in a while the same thing: new Firefox tab, loads for a second, and Gnome/X freezes. Mouse cursor moves, and processes seem to keep running.
I can still SSH into the box. Killing processes doesn't seem to bring down X and I have to reboot. Almost nothing in our setup is the same: amd64, AMD video, 13.04, Firefox 22, kernel 3.8.0. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491846 Title: Opening link in new tab freezes Firefox and makes computer unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/491846/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
