[Bug 360578] Re: System freeze on scrolling in firefox

[brott]

I have this same issue in Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04).  I tried running firefox
in safe-mode, and still get the issue.

If I go to a page with more than just plain-text and scroll rapidly, I
can reproduce.  For example, if I go to my twitter home page and then
use my touchpad to scroll up and down quickly, the system hard freezes.
Mouse is still active, but I cannot perform any actions on screen.
Ctrl+Alt+Bkspace has no response (I disabled dontzap).  I can either
power down my laptop, or use alt+sysrq+k / alt+sysrq + r-e-i-s-u-b to
restart.

I have a Dell Laptop (630m) which has an integrated video card.  I do
use compiz with some effects turned on.  I also tried using the
2.6.30-020630rc4 kernel to fix some video performance issues.

Any ideas?  I'm new to linux and am really liking Ubuntu - don't want
these crashes to be such a deterrent.

Thanks!
