What Do you mean with OS freezed ?
Is only the X server freezing or the complete OS ?
(if complete OS = invalid)

It freeze whole computer and i can't do anything but press reset. It works fine
with other browsers.

do you get any messages in /var/log/messages or /var/log/XFree86.*.log (the
XFree86 logs are overwritten when X restarts, so you'll need to boot up without
X (single user mode or runlevel 3)

what distro are you running?  what kernel version?  what version of XFree86? 
what video card?

I tried this under solaris and had no trouble loading the pages. The pages are
pretty simple; no images, java, or flash animations.

Janne, is it possible that it's just your GUI interface that's freezing, and
that non-interactive stuff is still running?  When the system appears to freeze,
you can try a few things:

Control-Alt-F1 should switch the display to a text-based screen, probably
showing a login prompt.

Control-Alt-Backspace should cause your X server to exit.

Control-Alt-Delete should cause Linux to start shutting down.

works for me
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021105, build 2002110508
No problem with either link, going back and forth from homepage to links works fine.

Still works for me, using linux nightly 2003010404. No response from the
reporter to comments 5 or 6. Resolving.
