[Bug 914435] Re: Firefox continuously freezing, no cursor, links not opening, etc.

 

My launcer is now stuck in the open position and the black link box is
stuck on my screen.  Firefox is not opening properly, there is no cursor
at times and everything is going haywire.

Title:
  Firefox continuously freezing, no cursor, links not opening, etc.

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  What on earth is going on?  All upgrades past 10.10 have been nothing
  but problems.

  Firefox continuously freezes.  I am sometimes unable to get a cursor
  and I have tried to report this problem several times, but when I get
  to this page I am not able to get a cursor to type in the problem.  I
  have to reboot several times a day just to get my work done.
  Sometimes when I click on links they won't open and at times the
  computer just seems to go haywire.  My processor makes so much noise
  when it is opening files and programs that I think it's going to
  crash.

  Can you please fix this or at least refer me to another operating
  system that works more efficiently.
