I closed firefox before updating it and rebooting. On starting it again, all my tabs came up blank. Refresh didn't refresh. I tried konqueror to see whether it would work. It did. I eventually discovered that I coulld click in the address bar and hit enter to get the effect of a refresh. While using konqueror, I got a pop up announcing a problem with the subject package and asking me to report. I clicked on report. I got asked for my password. I typed it in and clicked on authenticate. The wheel is still spinning. My GUI screen in effectively froxen I can move the curson, but that is all. Clicking has no effect. I'm typing this from an alternate terminal.

Recommendations? Should I reboot? Try to ID the evil process and kill it? Wait it out? For how long?

BTW I'm getting a lot of keyboard bounces and research is difficult. How can I adjust?
