Public bug reported:

My system is locking up, while using Mozilla FireFox, after installing latest version of Mint 17 kernel.
I can use Ctrl-Alt-Bsp to kill the instance of FF, but this re-occurs now every time I start to use FF.
Could this be a problem with kernel handling of Nvidia graphics?  I have older 8600 graphics.  Other 
sytem attributes:  AMD64x2 w 4GB ram, 1TB Hard drive, Viewsonic LED 1080p, 24inch.

Again, no problems with this system until a few days ago when I upgraded to latest kernel.
I always install all system updates as soon as I receive notice.

Any way to get back to older kernel?  No previous kernel updates caused
any problems!

Thx.
