Usually, lately, I ignore these messages because they ask me to give my Ubuntu password and for security reasons [I don't normally give it], but this time I checked it little bit more. So I pressed report the problem and another window appeared. This new window had the name "authenticate" and the following writing: Please enter your password to access problem reports of system programs. An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. AUTHENTICATION IS REQUIRED TO PERFORM THIS ACTION. Password........... Under this on the left bottom was a small upside down triangle and the word Details. I pressed the Details and appeared: Action :com.ubuntu.apport.apport-gtk-root Vendor : Apport} Pressing the Vendor word SOMETHING VERY STRANGE HAPPENNED: A new window came out: "Close Firefox. Firefox is already running,but is not responding.To open a new window , you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system . OK ." BUT FIREFOX WAS NOT OPENED / AND THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST FEW TIMES. I mean that quite few times has happened that WITHOUT Firefox opened the system tells me THAT FIREFOX IS ALREADY RUNNING!!!!!!! Anyway I had to press OK to that so Firefox opened by itself on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport. I stop everything there and I put on the side this Authenticate window. I did not give my password (Please tell me if this comes out to you in UBUNTU, and WHY FIREFOX seems to be open when it is not). After that I checked my Hotmail account to see if you have sent me something from the yesterday problems I had faced and reported to you. I had no answer so I logged out from hotmail and I went to my other email account in AOL. I succesfully logged in BUT when I tried to check my inbox the screen (I only had this window in AOL opened) got dark and was not responding. I pressed Ubuntu Help and after while the screen got lighter but I could check my emails, AGAIN got darker and I had to press alt+f2 several times (was not openning) and finally got to send this report to you with all of these details. PLEASE ONCE MORE I NEED YOUR HELP.
