I'm facing the simmilar problem, too. Mozilla/firefox window simply
gone, or hanging forever. Looks like the main culprit is
Xft (libXft). What I did for temporary measure was:
1) revert to older Xft-2.1.2
OR
2) using libmap.conf facility to remap libXft.so(.2) to older
   libXft.so(.2) taken from Xft-2.1.2 (put it somewhere under
   lib/ , rename as libxXft.so..)
