This bug affects me too. I'm using Xubuntu 10.04 AMD64 with Firefox 3.6.8 I can't use the workaround mentioned by eissc using System Preferences Appearance Visual Effects because I can't find such a preference. -- firefox freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117078 You received this bug

I followed eissc's procedures, disabled Visual Effects, System Preferences Appearance Visual Effects Select None then this freeze issue is gone. Wonderful! I tried many methods, asked many people on the Internet, the bug is always there. Until I saw this post... -- firefox freezes

I was having the same problem when I first installed 9.04 on a Toshiba Satellite R15-s822 laptop. While using Firefox, Ubuntu would freeze up. Sometimes I could move the cursor, but other times it would freeze too. I don't remember where I found this info, but here's what I did to fix this issue

Sorry I don't have any useful data to add to this, but I have recently seen this problem also on a notebook. I had been running 8.10 for some time and recently upgraded to 9.04, and this problem existed in both releases, however seemingly more and more often these days, but not tied to the

Okay, one last thing from me to try. Use the open source graphics drivers. Disable the proprietary drivers and see what happens. I did this with mine, and it seems to be working fine so far. And the best part, my video files play smoothly now! I haven't tested it on flash videos yet, but

I don't know if this helps, but I have a similar problem, except with mine the cursor won't even move. I had this problem with Firefox 3 so I downgraded to 2. Everything worked fine until recently. I changed my video card from a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 to an ATI Radeon 9600. The problem didn't

The bug's still here - if you attempt to open a new link before the current page is fully loaded, sometimes, this will lead to a total system freeze. The cursor is still movable but nothing else. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace won't work, even Alt+SysRq+R/E/I/S/U/B won't budge! A hard reboot is always

This bug from 2007 - I never did resolve this.. a few weeks later I had what I took to be hardware problems, switched out both memory and motherboard and still couldn't get a clean boot. Now on another base, I've not seen this bug again. -- firefox freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117078

I've no reason to think it is.. I've only seen it with Firefox recently past few weeks. It's been a very stable system for the two years I've had it. I think it's something specific to the coding on the pages I go to that trips it. I've visited other sites and had no problems. I'll steer clear
