I'm experiencing such a problem too. It seems to me that Firefox ask for swap pages once in a while and quite soon, after a few dozen of minutes of a normal usage, the whole of my 4GB of swap disk is filled. Moreover, since firefox write down several tens of MB each time, there are frequently temporary complete-freezing of the system during disk I/O for a few seconds each, even if the swap partition is not full. When the partition becomes full, then, the system becomes completely unusable. Notice that a lot of RAM remains available, it is not a lack of resources problem.
