Public bug reported: Clicking a hyperlink in Firefox sometimes logs me out of GNOME (Classic, i.e. gnome-panel). There is no warning or prompt asking me whether I want to log out or not. I briefly see a black screen with white text similar to the ones you see when shutting down from the command line, then I am shown the typical Ubuntu login manager. I can then log in again.
This problem occurs infrequently, and because I am immediately logged out without warning, I cannot view the problematic code in a debugger. Nor does the white text appear long enough for me to read what it says.
