And I should add that the cursor still moves around but no response to mouse clicks or keystrokes. And video is frozen.

Since updates Saturday night I have been having hard lock ups. It looks like Firefox is the trigger.

It was really bad at first. I finally managed to kill Firefox auto load pages by in a non-graphics session, watching what top was reporting going on in the graphics session and killing Firefox.
Then starting Firefox and closing all my windows as they open. Finally got it to start up with nothing to open. That was this morning. Things seemed to be working OK until now when I got to my Hilton hotel for the night and going through their miserable portal that FIrefox would not accept their cert, and then it locked again.

Just booted. Updated again and only got added: Anyone hear anything like this? So far can't find anything in bugs.
I recall seeing something like this on a site that had a bunch of javascript video players on a single page. Click on the page and every video activated at once. Firefox went crazy. When I would look in top I would see all kinds of threads demanding CPU and the parent thread pegging all the cores. I haven't seen it for a while, so either I haven't visited a page like that again, or the page got fixed, or firefox put in some kind of governor to limit the amout of CPU that a single page can use.
Might not be your problem, but another datapoint for you.
