No response to anything other than ctrl-alt-shift-prntscr-b R-E-I-S-U all show no response. Tested in Gnome shell where it works fine. Using Ubuntu Tweak to clear cache has occasionally relieved the issue and starting from terminal with -safe- mode sometimes works, following which Firefox will launch as normal. Returned to Unity after using Firefox in Gnome-shell and freezes again. Running 13.04 up to date as of 1pm GMT 28/2/2013. I had this problem in 12.04 for some time, installing the AMD website FGLRX driver seemed to relieve that issue but I cannot install the AMD driver successfully in 13.04 as the dkms module will not build. What I don't understand is why Firefox should be the only application to exhibit this behaviour. Things to note: Have set Firefox cache to 0 Machine is running behind transparent proxy (Squid on 12.04 server). Have checked file system several times. Have not noticed any SATA issues logged relating to this drive.
