Title:
  Clicking on firefox button causes unity freeze

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On a fresh boot, clicking on the Firefox link on the sidebar in Unity
  causes Ubuntu to freeze completely. No response to anything other than
  ctrl-alt-shift-prntscr-b R-E-I-S-U all show no response. Tested in
  Gnome shell where it works fine. Using Ubuntu Tweak to clear cache has
  occasionally relieved the issue and starting from terminal with -safe-
  mode sometimes works, following which Firefox will launch as normal.
  Returned to Unity after using Firefox in Gnome-shell and freezes
  again. Running 13.04 up to date as of 1pm GMT 28/2/2013.

  I had this problem in 12.04 for some time, installing the AMD website
  FGLRX driver seemed to relieve that issue but I cannot install the AMD
  driver successfully in 13.04 as the dkms module will not build. What I
  don't understand is why Firefox should be the only application to
  exhibit this behaviour.

  Things to note:
  Have set Firefox cache to 0
  Machine is running behind transparent proxy (Squid on 12.04 server).
  Have checked file system several times.
  Have not noticed any SATA issues logged relating to this drive.
