[Bug 709074] [NEW] Firefox freezes.. Almost locks up System.

[Beeej]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Not too sure what happens but as I am browsing using firefox.. Sometimes
it seems to freeze the entire system. Even after I force quit firefox,
System becomes unresponsive... Eventually when i get access to the
console, I can do a killall firefox to get my system back.
