Bug Description
Ubuntu MATE 15.04 x64
It seems that I have found an interesting bug in Firefox (64 bit) ver 36 for Linux (ubuntu packaging). I can watch Vine videos, as long as they are NOT on vine's website.
If I DO go to a vine page, i get kicked out of my XWindows session and a few seconds later i go back in to the session, but i cant control anything. Not start the Wifi, can not use mounted drives, i can't even log out or even sudo reboot. I have to physically turn off my machine.
I have sent an error report by Apport to Ubuntu, but I dont know if it is firefox that is causing the issue, or the session manager, or what. I am using MATE and the fglrx-updates (amdcccle) graphics driver, but i doubt that has anything to do with it. All of this is the current 15.04 software from the Ubuntu repo, not extra ppa's.
