I see this on a newly-installed CentOS 5.3, with firefox 3.0.14 and flash 10.0, on an x86_64. The result is a system freeze wih blinking keyboard LEDs after a few minutes of poking around Facebook.
Curiously, the same configuration on an i386 box is perfectly happy at FB.
One other element: on the x86_64 box, I'm running 32-bit firefox, so as not to have to worry about wrapping proprietary plugins (like flash).
It happens irrespective of whether a webcam is installed.

Willing to be guided in testing.
