> It seems Ubuntu 32 bit has not the same "freeze crash lockup" problem.

I wish that were true. I tried switching to the 32-bit Gutsy on my AMD64 and Firefox still froze pretty regularly. I was able to make the freezes go away by ripping out Flash support, which isn't an acceptable solution, as it makes some sites unusable. My most recent attempt at a solution involves disabling powernowd. After that modification I've been able to use Flash without Firefox freezing up, but I haven't been running this way long enough to declare success.
