There is a possibility that the pulseaudio daemon is either the direct or indirect cause of applications locking up. It was observed that the pulseaudio daemon failed to start during the Ubuntu boot up. The package was subsequently removed and the default Ubuntu desktop was used. In this configuration Thunderbird, Firefox and other applications worked as expected. Before the windows of these application eventually darken and the application locked up.
