This is a known bug in mozilla in it's interaction with the flash plugin (or maybe vice versa). Esound, as someone suggested, will not solve the problem. The work-around I used to use was just hit pause on xmma for a second or two, and the browser will continue loading the site normally. The work-around that I currently use is to remove the flash plugin. I know of no other solution. Interestingly, this is the improved behaviour. Previously, mozilla would not load while the sound device was in use. Now it's just when it's trying to load the flash plugin when it's needed. BTW, if anyone has a user_pref for mozilla that disables the dialog box asking if I was to download the flash plugin, I'd love to know about it.
