Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
Sometimes, when middle-clicking a link to open a page in a new tab, Firefox freezes up completely. The tab opens and the page begins to load, but after a couple of seconds, it freezes. The Gnome panels freeze as well and moving the mouse pointer over an icon doesn't highlight it. I can't close Firefox or open or switch to another program. Keyboard shortcuts to open programs don't work. The only thing to do is to force reboot.
However, other programs still run in the background. Rhythmbox keeps on playing music, and hovering the mouse pointer over its panel icon actually shows the info box. The panel clock keeps on ticking.
This has only happened with external links to other sites, but I don't know if that's just a coincidence or not. It happens maybe once every five hours or so. I have Flashblock 1.5.11.2 and Adblock 0.5.3.043 installed, as well as Rotate Image 0.1.3.2, DownThemAll 1.1.7 and LeetKey 1.4.3 installed, with compatibility checking turned off. The problem doesn't seem to depend on the content of the page opened. The newly opened tab has always been out of focus when this happens, which may or may not be important.
The last two sites it happened with were http://www.anamanaguchi.com and http://www.slangbella.se .
Using Ubuntu 9.10 and Firefox 3.5.5.
