Can you please list all your extensions addons themes and version of
firefox and Ubuntu. Also we need a couple of links that cause this for
you. We also would like step by step instructions on how to reproduce
this bug.

Regular use using default installed browser with Ubuntu Hardy 8.04. No extensions installed. No themes installed. 90% of use on http://www.deviantart.com. The system would lock up after a few minutes of browsing users pictures, checking messages, etc.

I have totally removed the installation of FF3 and installed FF2 instead. The system has not locked up since then.

If needed I can run commands to show my system specs etc. Just let me know what commands to run and I will post them here.
