It loads fine</DIV> <DIV>> and appears to work fine until I click on links and more times than</DIV> <DIV>> not the whole system will totally lock up and require a reboot. I did</DIV> <DIV>> not have this problem before I upgraded from the previous most current</DIV> <DIV>> kubuntu release.</DIV> <DIV>></DIV> <DIV>> Could firefox was installed prior to the latest upgrade. Should I</DIV> <DIV>> uninstall it and reinstall it on the new kubuntu upgrade. I think it</DIV> <DIV>> might be related to firefox needing to access the Internet when I</DIV> <DIV>> click on a link.
