Yes, most of the times when I start firefox it works ok. After that, for me on a random moment (minutes to an hour), it freezes. If I close firefox and start it over again, it stays frozen from the start. Occasionally it's frozen right from the start. > Could you give some indication when this happens, are you interacting > with the window; how so? Is there any possibility that some other > widget is grabbing the keyboard focus, as in #281859 or #291737? The description of the #291737 bug is similar to my problem. In the frozen state, cut and paste works with the mouse from text entered in a konsole for instance, the location field can then be edited. Also, in the frozen state, for instance a link is not clickable, but opening in a new tab/window can be done by the mouse right menu. I will try two things now, as I'm really happy with firefox compared to the other browsers: 1. I'll test it in an testing release on an other Athlon I have. 2. I'll test it in an new installation of Debian testing on a spare disc partition on the problematic machine. and maybe 3rd, if you're interested, I could give you an account to test it yourself on my problematic Athlon.
