Well, the obvious immediate question would be "why are you using a
version of Ubuntu that's over a year old".

The second obviousy question would be: what plugins/extensions have you
got installed in firefox? Have you tried disabling them all? Does that
make a difference?

And when you say "freeze", is it just firefox that freezes or does it
take out X while it's at it? Glancing around it appears that the issue
might have been fixed in 6.10, but being a debian user (and mostly
unstable on my own machines and etch on the workstations at work), I
haven't got an ubuntu machine to test on (or, infact, a gmail account...
why would I want my e-mail indexed by a large company that already
indexes the things that I want public anyways?).

Thanks,
