Double check you have the latest bugfix flash, http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. Also, upgrade to firefox 3.5 or later. Then, create a new Firefox profile, and try to reproduce there.

If your whole computer hangs, that is not a problem with firefox, but maybe flash. Not sure if flash can cause system hangs.
