Title:
  Firefox is freezing and the screen fades in and out like it's
  crashing.  I sometimes don't have a cursor and sometimes nothing
  happens when I click on links.

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I turned on my computer today and immediately the screen started
  fading out like it was freezing and then coming back up and it did
  this several times.  When the update manager appeared on the left side
  of the screen, I was not able to click on the manager to see the
  updates and instead had to right click on it and click install
  updates.  I frequently have problems with a cursor not appearing.  It
  happens at least three times a day where I have to either force the
  computer to shut down using the power button and when I can, click
  restart.  I have been having problems since installing 11.04, but
  11.10 is by far the worse.
