Raring beta screen greying out and getting unresponsive

[jerrylamos]

Running Firefox on Raring beta 2 getting frequent periods of screen greying out and won't respond, recovers, then greys out again. I did get this message once:

(process:5599): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed

Maybe this is a linux bug instead? How do I tell what process 5599 is? It's not showing up on "top".

Firefox is showing up to 75% CPU (dual processor) while working on this bug and not doing anything with firefox other than sitting there with 6 tabs, highlighted tab is BUG #1166186 ( this one).

I've been running Raring since early apt/sources.list days and haven't seen anything like this.

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=13.04

Updated as of today 8 April. Very slow with raring stuttering along to enter this bug comment.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an issue? Can the bug report now be closed? If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
