What do I do if my screen freezes up when viewing a pdf from mozilla?
It seems to be a bug with Mozilla that is causing screens to freeze.
To unfreeze your screen:
1. Make note of the name of the machine you are on.
2. Log into another machine
3. ssh into the machine that is frozen
4. type
If not, type
Your window manager should restart and your screen should return to normal.
To avoid Mozilla from freezing up when viewing pdfs:
Save the pdf to your home directory.
This is the only thing that can be done until the next release of Mozilla comes out.
