[Bug 1259950] [NEW] browsers are not responding-ghosting and hanging inoperational, then returning briefly

[Aniel Paranjpe]

Public bug reported:

Unpredictably my browsers will work, and then trouble may start. Mostly
with Firefox (and Arora) where the browser window goes a dark ghostly
shade, becoming dull but still visible. The browser then is inoperable
and at some point then returns to full brightness, and will maybe accept
a click or two before shadowing out again. This will happened repeatedly
and last a long time. I have had to force quit the browser and restart,
restore my tabs, and try to continue. This may need to be done several
times before the service is operational again for a few hours. It is not
my connection, since Chrome rarely has the problem, and run
simultaneously means i'm forced to jump form one browser to the other.
Thunderbird carries on working It is no specific tab to blame- I have
checked that.

Having tried to upgrade to 12.10 (from 12.04lts where this problem
began)I still find the problem and I had managed all software updates
prior to upgrading, and the problem is as bad. In fact I'm trying to
restore a FF session now and for the first time it's proving really hard
to get a response -There are script problems also eg

Script: resource://gre/modules/XPIProvider.jsm ->
jar:file:///home/ap/.mozilla/firefox/5pt5d5rv.default/extensions/jid1-JcGokIiQyjoBAQ@jetpack.xpi!/bootstrap.js
-> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js ->
resource://gre/modules/commonjs/sdk/url.js:79

 I fear it is still an issue with the NVidia graphic card GeForce
210/PCIe/SSE2 . I run a HP Compaq DC6700 convertible tower Intel®
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz × 2     32-bit

  apt 0.9.7.5ubuntu5.6


I have reported further problems here:
