gnome desktop freezes with Firefox running

[cmnorton]

Binary package hint: firefox

I had two Firefox running with two tabs. The screen saver was set to run at 30 minutes of activity, and did run successfully.

Then, I switched one of the tabs, so that the active tab was displaying music selection from a local radio station. The selection updates in the browser each time a new song is played.

When I came back, the screen saver was not running, and the desktop was frozen. Power recycle was needed to bring system back.

Hardware is an Acer 630 Travelmate, running on AC, and with 1GB RAM, 7.10 Ubuntu.

Correction in first sentence:

I had Firefox running with two tabs,

instead of

I had two Firefox running with two tabs.
