ff buttons, menus, etc. don't work

[der.hans]

Am 22. Dec, 2013 schwätzte Dazed_75 so:

moin moin,

I've had firefox lose it's display while some part of the core engine
coneintues and continues to hold a lock. Killing the pid of the remaining
process tends to open the lock.

$ dpkg -l | grep iceweasel
ii  iceweasel                             17.0.10esr-1~deb7u1
amd64        Web browser based on Firefox

ciao,

der.hans
