yeah, show us a log of when it freezes. The firefox stuff merely means  
debugging is turned on, probably means you're running a beta or RC  
version?

When the log is turned over, it doesn't disappear, it gets sent  
compressed and renamed system.log.0.bz2

(actually what happens is system.log.6.bz2 gets renamed to system.log. 
7.bz2, 5 to 6, etc, THEN system.log gets compressed and named  
system.log.0.bz2)

To see these earlier logs, simply click on the More Logs button in the  
upper left hand corner of Console, and navigate to /var/log, and slick  
the reveal triangle. Select any of the system.log.N files and look in  
them for the time of the freeze.
