[Bug 1462836] [NEW] firefox when on a Vine.com webpage, crashes MATE session.

 

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu MATE 15.04 x64

It seems that I have found an interesting bug in Firefox (64 bit) ver 36
for Linux (ubuntu packaging).  I can watch Vine videos, as long as they
are NOT on vine's website.

If I DO go to a vine page, i get kicked out of my XWindows session and a
few seconds later i go back in to the session, but i cant control
anything.  Not start the Wifi, can not use mounted drives, i can't even
log out or even sudo reboot.  I have to physically turn off my machine.

I have sent an error report by Apport to Ubuntu, but I dont know if it
is firefox that is causing the issue, or the session manager, or what.
I am using MATE and the fglrx-updates (amdcccle) graphics driver, but i
doubt that has anything to do with it.   All of this is the current
15.04 software from the Ubuntu repo, not extra ppa's.
