Every now and then, whenever closing the lid on this laptop, Firefox experiences a crash. This in turn launches the Mozilla Crash Reporter. Whenever that is launched during the transition to freeze or hibernate, Mozilla Crash Reporter prevents the laptop from going into freeze or hibernate. Instead, the laptop remains powered up until the tool has finished gathering its backtrace and sent the bug report. The lid then needs to to be open and closed again for freeze or hibernate to take place. This is is an extremely serious issue, because if the user doesn't notice that the laptop hasn't succeeded at going into freeze/hibernate, it will end up overheating during transport.
