I'm using Opera and it doesn't happen anymore. About my problems, it's
happening when I scroll long pages and use flash, like Youtube. When I'm
seeing a long thread in GMail, I need to scroll long pages and so it
happens again.

If Flash works in Opera (e.g. Youtube), then I guess you could use that
instead. If Flash doesn't work and/or you want to use firefox, I guess
we can try to find a fix.

Also, have you got FLASH installed for use with firefox? Or are you using

I can confirm this is a Flash Plugin issue, this is the result of
debugging Firefox when it freezes.
I can also confirm that installing latest Adobe Flash Plugin doesn't
