More datapoint(s):
I have a 'similar' system: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS + Trinity -- only this one
is still Trinity 3.5.11 -- and the upgrade of Firefox to Ver. 13 did
NOT present the problem.
I will update this system to Trinity 3.5.13.1 -- but not for 2 weeks,
as I need this system to be 'rock steady' until then. I will report
back after I've done the upgrade from Trinity 3.5.11 to 3.5.13.1.

The problem remains.
The recent update to the flash plugin has made no difference.
No one except Peter Laws and myself seem to have this problem. ??
I've seen no reports here, nor in in alt.os.linux.ubuntu, alt.os.linux,
and gmane.linux.ubuntu.user. On 06/08/12 10:18, Marvin L Jones wrote:

More on 'symptoms' here:
The first time I bring up firefox (after a boot), it comes up as
'quickly' as it ever has. When opening a flash-y URL and the firefox
window becomes unresponsive,
I can:
1. Go off to another desktop and do something else for awhile.
When I return I _can_ scroll the window and operate all
the 'controls'. But, reloading, or clicking off to
another (flash-y) URL will lock up the window again.
2. Repeatedly click on the window CLOSE [X] button until I get
the "Not Responding" pop-up and terminate it that way.
The _next_ attempt to bring up firefox takes
A VERY LOOOONG TIME.
Running it from the CLI gives the error:
/usr/lib/firefox/plugin-container: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so: undefined symbol: PR_GetVersion
when clicking to a flash-y URL.
There's nothing in /var/log/messages On Fri, 8 Jun 2012, Peter Laws wrote:

Ahhh!!!! So that's it! I had eliminated IPv6 and several other things,
but still the window becomes unresponsive.
I do have the flashblock plugin installed. I never checked to see it it
was still 'active'. I'll have to see if _that_ is the problem -- versus
flash itself.
Nope. Just removed flashblock entirely, same issue. :-( Felix offered:
You can install as many Firefox or SeaMonkey versions as you care to.
Just download the bz2 archives from any of Mozilla.org's ftp mirrors,
...
Thanks, Felix! I just may uninstall and pin the Ubuntu firefox, and
install the .deb's from Mozilla on my own. But, I will test the 2nd
system's Ubuntu Firefox V13 with Trinity 3.5.13.1 first. Thanks for the
pointers and config tips!
(Maybe it's the clash of all the unlucky thirteens... Ya think? :-)
