I am having the same problems with firefox 3 beta 5 on a fully updates
hardy heron system, which is quite clean because I installed it from the
CD two days ago. I have now disabled all the add-ons to see if one of
them causes the problem. It does not seem to happen right now, while
entering this report (i.e. with everything turned off).

A short description; Every now en then when browsing firefox seems to
stop responding. The status of firefox in system monitor is
'uninterruptible' and the screen greys out. The mouse cursor does not
change when I hover over text, an image or a link. After 5 to 10 seconds
the screen turns into colors again and I can browse further. This has
happend a number of times while entering something in a textbox (enter
search terms etc).

I have many addons (plugins) installed, but I think most of them came with 
hardy heron or at least with the package manager; Adobe reader 8.0, default 
plugin, demo print plugin for unix/linux. divx web player 1.4.0.233, helix DNA 
plugin 2.22.1, iTunes application detector, Quicktime plugin 7.2.0 2.22.1, 
shockwave flash 9.0 r124, totem web browser plugin 2.22.1, VLC web browser 
plugin 2.22.1, VLC 2.22.1, Windows Media player plug-in 10 2.22.1
I will update here if such an add-on seems to cause this behavior.
