Firefox 3.10 on my Ubuntu system frequently reverts to FF 2 all of sudden, until I close and reopen the program. I have NO IDEA how or why, but it is FF2 in every respect, down to user agent in traffic logs.mario peebsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17635579.post-28489378225332107182009-07-11T16:14:11.852-04:002009-07-11T16:14:11.852-04:00Looks like a gnome-screensaver.Astronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17635579.post-35504115423685642422009-07-11T12:32:37.944-04:002009-07-11T12:32:37.944-04:00could the black boxes be related to this bug?<br /><br />http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/3d_desktops-beryl_compiz_and_moreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17635579.post-9273217441263881632009-07-11T12:16:50.115-04:002009-07-11T12:16:50.115-04:00I&#39;d try stripping compiz out and going to the basic open-source video drivers, then doing updates from there.<br /><br />linux4noobsmod@redditAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17635579.post-42957046995884928722009-07-11T09:41:42.774-04:002009-07-11T09:41:42.774-04:00I&#39;ve seen this in Jaunty as well. I&#39;ve seen it with a variety of graphics cards and drivers, so it&#39;s not a driver issue. At this point, I suspect a bug in X itself.autarchhttp://autarch.urth.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17635579.post-18116744389139192552009-07-11T09:22:35.893-04:002009-07-11T09:22:35.893-04:00hobofood: ditto.Calvin Spealmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07161631946662126734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17635579.post-25469871948568224532009-07-11T06:27:17.295-04:002009-07-11T06:27:17.295-04:00This happens to me too (the black blocks, not the star), Jaunty, upgraded from beta (not alpha) to final.
