I have taken to blaming Mozilla's browser rendering engine for my system's instability, as well. I have encountered Firefox eating input events, such that I cannot input anything anywhere until the browser stops hanging. Naturally, it also hangs frequently.
As a result, it consistently feels as if my system has become unusable. On a few instances it has, in fact, but I'll attribute that to running Intrepid (a beta release at the time of this writing).
Issue occurs with or without Flash, generally on Javascript-heavy web pages like gmail.
