Also, please answer these questions:
Is this crash reproducible? If so, which are the steps that lead to it?
Which flash package do you have installed?
Which Java package do you have installed?
Which firefox extensions do you have installed?

This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

[Mr.Seduction (dghigo-deactivatedaccount)]

firefox-dbg isn't available in repository for firefox 3.
/var/crash is empty. I reported the crash with: "apport-cli -f P 14309".
The freeze is partially reproducible when firefox 3 load web page with
flash applets: firefox is unstable and don't respond in some moments. The
problem is present only in some circumstanced but I don't say in what way.
Flash package is: flashplugin-nonfree+nspluginwrapper.
Java package is: sun-java6-jre.
Firefox plugin: DownloadThemAll
All are updated.
Goodbye.

there are still some io issues left. but they should be much less intrusive than when 3.0 came out.
