When I was using three windows in Chromium and two windows in Firefox my system suddenly hung while I was switching between them.

In Windows I used to open task manager and close a specific window which was stuck.

How to do this in Ubuntu?

Hit CTRL+ALT+F1 and you will get into a login terminal.

Enter your login details.

Enter sudo ps -A - this lists all processes running on the computer. Write down the process ID - PID of the stuck process.

Enter sudo kill PID where PID is the process ID of your stuck process.

Hit CTRL+ALT+F7 to resume the graphic mode.

In case the graphic mode is stuck enter in the CTRL+ALT+F1 screen sudo service lightdm restart.
