** Summary changed:

- System freezes (possibly Gecko)
+ firefox crashed

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox
- 
+ System freezes (possibly Gecko)
  I experience this bug since at least Herd 5. 
  At one moment in time it was quite rare, now it is consistently appearing, sometime even after few seconds.
  Firefox -safe-mode doesn't change anything.
  Other Gecko based browsers (Epiphany, Galeon) are affected.
  Non Gecko based (Dillo) works fine.
  
  95% of the time the freeze is not "hard" (mouse cursor moving, alt-sys
  keys recognised). The remaining 5% can only be recovered by hard power
  down.
  
  The freeze seems to be site dependant (launchpad being one of the
  worst), but so far I was unable to correlate it to any particular event.
  I have experienced freezes without any user interaction or network
  activity.
  
  Any other networks apps I tried did not show any similar problem.
