+ In the latest Gutsy with all available updates, Firefox/Epiphany will
+ cause an entire system to lock up when an object is dragged from it. I'm
+ not sure of the exact circumstances, but it works every time with the
+ steps below:
1. Find an image, block of text; anything selectable.
2. Click and drag somewhere else inside the browser window. (Desktop drag
untested.)
3. Let go of the mouse.
4. System will freeze except for the mouse. Only way out is to power off by
button or (safer) holding Alt and SysRq/Print Screen and typing REISUB.
I'm running 64-bit Gutsy if it makes a difference.

+ Bug seems to be caused by the Reflection plugin as reported by numerous
+ users.
