You forgot to include the minimal required information.
Which Firefox version and which Flash version are you using ?

And the used flash version ?
I can't reproduce this with FF3.6.6 and Shockwave Flash 10.1 r53

Do you get the same freeze in the Firefox safemode http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode ?

Please create and attach a stacktrace using this instructions if you still get this with the latest Flash version:
