Gnome-shell will freeze at unexpected times when using the firefox browser. The symptoms are the same as when watching videos with totem. I've switched to chrome without having gnome-shell freeze on me.
Is there something particular about the way firefox 59 (Quantum) interacts with my graphics hardware? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752145 Title: system freeze after full screen video viewing with Xorg on ultrawide monitor Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 1. open a video (either youtube or totem) 2. put it in full screen. 3. wait Eventually (within minutes) the system will freeze in one of 2 ways. 1.
