I had a smilar problem a few months ago on a 'Psyche' (RH8) box of mine. It came down to lack of a Java machine - as soon as I installed it, freezes disappeared.
HTH,

Hello everyone, I installed RH9 (Shrike) a few weeks ago. Recently, my web browsers have been freezing every 10 minutes or so. The freezes never occurred before I installed RH9. As far as I can tell, it's only web browsers that are affected-- XMMS, konsole, and gkrellm are running almost all the time, and they never freeze. For browsers, I've tried both Mozilla Firebird 0.6 and Opera 6.03. Opera seems to freeze a little less frequently, but not by much. I have not been able to identify a pattern to the freezes-- it happens for many different websites, and not repeatably with any website. I don't really expect that anyone will be able to solve this instantaneously ("Oh, just delete the browser.freeze file in /etc/irritations."), but I could use some debugging suggestions. For example, I noticed that if I start the browser from a command-line in konsole, I can always use ctrl-C to kill the window, whereas usually when an application crashes, it won't respond to ctrl-C at all (at least in my experience). This makes me think that I might be able to make the browser spit out some debugging info to the command-line. Some more details: by "freeze," I mean that the browser stops redrawing the screen. If I switch to another application, when I switch back to the browser, the other application's window doesn't get erased. Also, menus and links cannot be selected, nor text entered. The freeze usually occurs when I am moving the scroll wheel with Opera. Sometimes it happens on startup with Mozilla Firebird.
Better send this before Opera freezes, Brandon
