[Bug 1014849] [NEW] firefox freezes when I have a second window open

[ginnyh532]

Public bug reported:

If I open another window - such as gnome terminal or a game - and then
open firefox, it freezes and I sometimes have to reboot.   Other times,
right clicking the top menu works.  It is very frustrating.

I am using Precise - 32 bit.
