the browser will randomly freeze and the only way to stop it would be to "kill
-9" it. these freezes usually ocur with sites that have cookes, such a yahoo
mail. google, etc.


Reproducible: Sometimes

after the freeze and the kill -9 i start the browser again go the same webpage
and it works.

Have you tested this in Mozilla Application Suite (SeaMonkey)?
Summary: phoenix (firebird) randomly freezes under RedHat Linux 9 → random freezes under RedHat Linux 9
I have the same problem. I have not seen this before in earlier Red
Hat versions.
E.g., home page CNN and Washington Post freeze me at the moment.
Problem goes away (for me) if JavaScript turned off. I am using
the Redhat 9 with the bundled mozilla.
Turns out my problem above was due to the plugger plugin. I removed it
for now and things work fine.
