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.
Well, further to what I stated here and what others have stated, I now have also suddenly started to experience brief "freezings" :-( . But I also noticed that these occur when smart is trying to update the channels - unsuccessfully at this time 'cause the SUSE server(s) is/are down. (For what it's worth: I was watching a DVD and for the first time ever the picture would "freeze" momentarily. Again, this was occurring while smart was trying to update the channels.)
