system freezes regularly

[Christopher]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox may be causing the system to freeze in karmic Alpha 1, kernel 2.6.30-7. Today's updates made flash videos unable to view as well. Cache loads visually, then screen is covered in a gray tools menu.

Some other programs; MuseScore as an example - working fine yesterday are closing themselves at sporadic intervals. "Report a Problem'" in the System Tools menu is not working at all.

The system freezes only seem to happen when Firefox is started. It may have something to do with the 'restore previous session' option. I do not know how to disable this to test it.

Do you still have the problem with Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 release? Thank You for making Ubuntu better.

Karmic is very stable now. I have had no freezes in the past few months.
