Panel and menus periodically disappear

Every so often for no apparent reason the xfce top panel and the menus disappear. It always happens while I am online using Firefox (it is up to date)). And Ubuntu Studio 12.04 appears to crash. ALT + F2 brings up nothing. i can access the terminal but cannot type into it. The only thing I can do is reboot and that does restore the panel and menus. For some reason it tends to happen when I login to the admin back end of my Joomla 3 website (but not always). The first sign of it happening is when Firefox opens a link in the Joomla admin back end in a new tab and not in the same tab. Then I know it has happened again. It happens on other sites too. Weird.

I have read other threads about this but their situation does not quite match mine. It appears to be a system crash.

I have asked on the Ubuntu forum but no joy as yet.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting this?
