I have been running Firefox and Thunderbird since they first appeared (way back!) on every version of SuSE since that time and I have never experienced this "freezing".
I have been ignoring this thread because I didn't think I had the problem, but yes I have.
The problem (IMO) is due to DNS lookups that may not be working or that have long delays. This is with Firefox which I am using but would probably also happen with Moz or Thunderbird.
Doesn't happen for me very often but it is almost always a DNS lookup delay.
The first thing to try in such, or similar, cases is to zap the FF cache. When it recreates itself this more often than not fixes such hassles. Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1
