I have experienced freezing. First I upgraded to FireFox 3.0.9 in Ubuntu 8.10 x64. The computer mouse pointer would still move very lagged; but I was usually unable to do anything. Occasionally, I was able to close FireFox or the tab and the computer would unfreeze and give a Script error. Usually I had to turn the computer off - hard power off.

Then I upgraded to Jaunty (9.04 x64) and the problem continues. I am using non-free Flash and non-free Java.

Usually Facebook and/or Gmail is open when the freezing occurs. The hard drive activity light goes on like there is constant hard drive access.

It happened to me 4 or 5 times in one night.

Using HP DV2202CA - AMD Turion64 2.0, Nvidia Go 6150, 2 GB RAM. Ubuntu 8.10 was fine with earlier versions of FireFox... this all began with the forced update to 3.0.9.
