ubuntu 18.04/firefox freeze
I am learning Blender. While switching between Blender and the instruction video on Firefox, the video freezes and Ubuntu seems to partially freeze. I can open apps but not use them and the keyboard does not work. After closing and reopening Firefox the video works but the keyboard doesn't. Any help greatly appreciated.

P.S.: Since I don't have enough reputation to comment, writing as answer
Did you check if its because your Firefox & Blender together are occupying all your RAM ? One way could be to open System Monitor and in it check:
Processes tab and sort by Memory column
Resources tab and check in Memory and Swap History section, the % of RAM used
