[Bug 117078] Re: firefox freezes

[sword_guy]

I don't know if this helps, but I have a similar problem, except with
mine the cursor won't even move.  I had this problem with Firefox 3 so I
downgraded to 2.  Everything worked fine until recently.  I changed my
video card from a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 to an ATI Radeon 9600.  The
problem didn't come back until a couple days later.  It seems to happen
on pages with some sort of flash.  I've never had a flash video run very
well, but I've heard that it's because there's no good flash player for
Ubuntu yet.  Also, it doesn't happen all the time on the same pages.
But when it happens, it just stops.  There is no recovery for it except
turning the computer off and on.  Another thing I should add is that
when it used to happen, and the computer did its drive check from
unclean shutdown, sometimes there would be an xserver problem.  It would
always make its way through it (I forgot the exact errors and what I had
to do to fix it).  I just thought of something else.  I also uninstalled
the drivers for the Nvidia card today.  I haven't had the problem until
today.  Maybe it needed those for something even though the card is
missing?  That's all I have.  I see the post above this says fix
released, but there's nothing else on that.  Where is the fix?
