When I copy a link using Firefox 13.0 for Ubuntu the cursor changes to a hand holding a link. I then can't paste the link, or exit Firefox and have to reboot my computer. This only started happening after I upgraded to Firefox 13.0.

Could you describe the steps to reproduce the problem. You right-click a link and choose Copy Link Location? Or are you using a feature of the Blogger rich text editor?

I select "new post" in blogger, then type some text. I then switch to another tab and copy the URL of that web page using CNTL-C. I then switch back to Blogger and select text for the link, click on the Blogger "Link" button and paste the text into the field with CNTL-V and press ENTER to create the link. The first two times I do this for the first two links in a post it works fine. But if I try to add a third link, the mouse pointer changes to a hand holding a link. mouse left and right buttons cease to work and I can't exit Firefox. So I then reboot the computer.

While Firefox is hung, can you switch applications using the keyboard, either Ctrl+Shift+Esc (Task Manager) or Alt+Tab (hold Alt and press and release Tab, then repeat Tab to get to an application other than Firefox)? Edit: Sorry those are for Windows. I don't know the appropriate keyboard shortcuts for Linux.

If you let the browser hang for a few minutes, do you get a dialog that the script is taking too long that lets you terminate it?

I'm not sure why the third link would behave any differently than the first two... I wonder whether it might help to "save" within Blogger after adding the first two links? Do you have an HTML or source view option in Blogger? I wonder whether it would help to switching between the regular editor and source view and then back again before the third paste.

I can't recall any other reports like this on the forum. Hopefully someone with a Blogger account can provide more useful feedback. If there is a forum for Blogger, you might search there as well.

Alt+Tab doesn't work. I found I have to CNTL+ALT+DEL and reboot the computer.

I don't know whether you would ever use Ctrl+Alt+Del other than in this situation. If not, perhaps reassign it to Ubuntu's task manager? See http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/20355/use-ctrlaltdel-for-task-manager-in-linux-to-kill-tasks-easily/

Thanks, but I am only using CNTL+ALT+DEL because there is a fault in Firefox and/or Google Blogger which is locking up my computer. The solution would seem to be to have Firefox and/or Google Blogger fixed, so the computer does not lock up.

I have never had an application lock up in this way in Linux before (it happened frequently when I used Microsoft Windows, but thankfully those days are long gone).

My thought was if you assign Ctrl+Alt+Del to the task manager, you could kill firefox.exe without having to restart everything else.

Yes, thanks. Turning off hardware acceleration fixed the problem.
