Thank you for your bugreport. Since this seems to be an issue with
version 3 of the firefox browser, I'm reassigning the package.

I am having this same problem with FF 3.06 on Intrepid 64bit.

I noticed that it runs the cpu up to about 55%, and after killing FF from the console, the desktop recovers.

Sorry I never tried it on 64bit. On 32 bit the problem suddenly
disappeared I assume an upgrade fixed it but I do not know which one.
