When it happens the whole screen freezes, the keyboard doesn't respond anymore(e.g. hitting caps-lock doesn't turn on the LED). I can still log into the system via ssh, but after one second or so that connections freezes too... since I have that one second I'm still able to run commands via ssh (e.g. ps aux). I tried killing firefox and or other processes, but with no success of unfreezing the computer. I tried to run "su -c rcgdm restart" but it failed and also couldn't kill the X process (tried kill -15 and -9) also init 3 or init 6 failed, so I had to reboot by turning the power off... after rebooting I had a look at /var/log/message, but nothing there apart from my ssh logins... I'm happy to try out more things in case it happens again, but I'm not sure what other information to attach at this time... not even sure if this is a firefox/X/kernel bug...
