without Xorg freezing the desktop. Thank you very much for your help.

Bug description:

  in a firefox 36.0 on a Xorg Server of 1.15.1 with a R9 270 and a
  Ubuntu 14.04.1  AMD64 the desktop freezes. I can only move the mouse
  pointer, although the the login via SSH is still possible and works
  fine. By restarting the Xorg Server I can gain control over the local
  terminal again.

  This happens with the radeon driver, but not with the fglrx driver.
  The problem did not manifest itself with other applications.
