Public bug reported:
I installed 12.04 a few weeks ago without problems. About two days ago
(2012-06-08), I started experiencing crashes almost every time I would
click a URL in an email in Thunderbird (thus invoking Firefox). The
desktop instantly kicks me back to the login screen without warning, all
programs are closed, and I lose all of my work. This has been happening
once or twice *every hour* and always when I click a URL in Thunderbird.
Sometimese instead of crashing to login, the screen freezes and I have
to power cycle it. (ctrl+alt+f* don't work.)
I've read that these kinds of crashes are often related to Xorg, but
nothing in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log suggests a seg fault or other error.
I don't know where else to look.
I'm on a Dell laptop running fglrx with a stock 12.04 install.
Needless to say it's extremely frustrating, happens very often (many
times per day), and only started happening recently (my workflow has not
changed).
