I am using Opensuse 11.2 with FF 3.5.7 and it freezes a lot, about every 50 pages on average. Nothing responds but I can close the close button then Linux says FF is not responding, I can then click terminate. If I restart FF and allow it to restore the last pages, I can view the site where the lock occurred. This happens all the time so the problem may not be site specific. It happens seems it can happen on any site.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
Normal operation

update to 3.5.8 or 3.6, try an official mozilla build, then then try safe mode. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is
far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox
3.6.x or later and a new profile
(http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the
closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and
comment on the bug.

This appears to be fixed in 3.6.
