When I visit my newspaper at http://www.telegraaf.nl on this Thinkpad W520 running Intel video Firefox will usually lock up the whole desktop, it doesn’t always happen right away but at least as soon as I try to scroll down the page, I experience this problem since some 2 weeks ago.
Only the Magic Keys will get me restarted.
The problem does not occur when I run on nVidia.
Rekonq has never worked for me, it crashes every few minutes, recently with the message that nspluginviewer has crashed.
Making a bug report on the Rekonq problem fails as installation of the debugging symbols does not work.
Luckily there's still Konqueror and Opera.
I've been looking through the logs but so far I haven't found anything explaining why Firefox makes the desktop unresponsive, the mouse still moves but the buttons and keyboard seem dead. I have Ghostery, Better Privacy, Adblock Plus and Flashblock installed.
There is a second install on this computer and it exhibits the same problems.
One is standard and up to date, the other has x-swat, klaus-vormweg and sumski's PPA enabled.
