Same problem here, even worst. As soon as webbrowser starts it can freeze the desktop screen, keyboard and mouse.
1) At first I was able to login with a second system (or a smart-phone with ssh) and reboot the system, but now not even this works. 2) Amazon and other "channel" web apps depends on this so I am afraid that any Web apps that uses this can freeze the system "without notice". 3) looking at the syslog/auth.log, other than some hardware conflicts I already had before, I can't spot any traces of what is causing the problem. I suspect only this in auth.log: lightdm: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_kwallet.so): /lib/security/pam_kwallet.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory lightdm: PAM adding faulty module: pam_kwallet.so lightdm: pam_succeed_if(lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "jxxx" gnome-keyring-daemon[2194]: couldn't set environment variable in session: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files polkitd(authority=local): Registered Authentication Agent for unix- session:c2 (system bus name :1.79 [/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit- gnome-authentication-agent-1], object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) systemd-logind[723]: Removed session c1.
