Hang on, this can't be firefox's fault - no application should be able to freeze the system to the point of needing a hard reset.
Please confirm: 1) Does the mouse pointer still move or capslock light change if you press the button? 2) Does ctrl-alt-f2/f3/etc switch to text console (ctrl-alt-f7 or f8 or maybe f1 should take you back) Dave -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1432492 Title: Firefox and Thunderbird freezes entire system after a few seconds of use To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1432492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
