Plama-desktop ocassionally freezes running FireFox23
Since I've upgraded my Kubuntu 12.04 with FireFox23 (I'm running KDE 4.10.5) It has caused my desktop to not respond to my mouse on a few occasions.
Usually, I'd use Ctl+Alt+Del to bring up the logout option, log out and then log back in, avoiding a system reboot or the magic keys.
A while ago it happened again. Instead of logging out and back in I used Alt+F2 and fired up KSysmonitor to see if I could spot something amiss. The mouse works when I use Alt+F2 to fire up specific apps.
I didn't notice any processes sleeping or other error messages so on a lark I right moused on the plasma-desktop line and sent an INT signal.
It worked! My desktop was immediately responsive again!
