For some odd reason, after using firefox for several hours - the UI stops responding to clicking the mouse. I can move the mouse on the screen, but NOTHING responds, and using ctrl+alt+ arrow to switch desktops stops working too. But i can use tab and enter to select links on the pages and brows in a crippled sort of mode - however its incredibly annoying and i cant click on system menu or icons or anything. Kill firefox and after a couple seconds it goes back to normal.

So i opened konqueror to look up the problem, but then konqueror caused it too right when it loaded. I had to reboot for the problem to go away (for now).

Does anyone have any idea what may cause this / how to fix it?

Running ubuntu 9.04 64 bit installed just 48 hours ago. I have the java plug in installed, and i had the alpha 64bit flash instealled - removed it after the trouble, and tried again - but it still caused those problems.
