I just upgraded to 15.10. I created a new account to replicate the bug, so no old settings would interfere.
I launch firefox, go through some tabs, and within a few minutes it freezes. This happens over and over when I try to use firefox. This did not happen on 15.04. But when I upgraded to 15.10, it started happening. Again, I just created this account on this machine, so it has all the default settings.
I did all the apt-get upgrades and rebooted the machine right before launching firefox to capture this last freeze.
Here is what it says on the command line:
$ firefox vfs.MountTracke r.listMountable Info call failed: GDBus.Error: org.freedesktop .DBus.Error.

(firefox:11496): GStreamer-WARNING **: External plugin loader failed. This most likely means that the plugin loader helper binary was not found or could not be run. You might need to set the GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER environment variable if your setup is unusual. This should normally not be required though.
