You load youtube and before it finishes the browser freezes. Then you type something into the search bar and the browser freezes again. You visit other websites with javascript interaction and the browser freezes. This happens also when you click the "star" symbol in the browser to bookmark or when you try to switch tabs.

But this is not a browser problem!! The behaviour changed with the "dist-upgrade" when new mesa and compiz packages arrived. I made sure there really was no code change of the browser.

Additionally, the screen snapshotting tool crashed during the file save option when I had the spotify client launched.

All in all totally unacceptable for updates to break my system like this.

Sad that I can not just switch operating systems like people advise me ....
