Public bug reported: After a recent update on my gateway netbook (I run update manager at least daily) running firefox and going to certain sites (e.g., foxnews.com) results in the touchpad no longer responding. Exiting firefox doesn't help, nor does turning the touchpad on and off (via one of the function keys). The only "fix" has been to reboot.
