Flash content is a likely problem. What Flash player are you using? The key ones are the official adobe player (package flashplugin-nonfree), Gnash and swfdec--there's also libflash, which does not seem to be updated.
If you need browsing capability, you can start firefox with extensions and plugins disabled with "firefox -safe-mode". If this stops the freezes, it also strongly suggests that one of your extensions or plugins is causing the problem.
