Just a "me too".  I used to get this with mozilla just as you described 
for Firefox but haven't had it in a while (fingers crossed).  This is 
using standard Xorg server, single head display, simple window manager 
(fvwm2).  Some time ago I switched to the NVidia driver over the Xorg 
one, but I really don't know that this is related.  Just that I switched 
some time ago and that I haven't had the lockup in a while.  For all I 
know, I unconsciously stopped doing whatever it was that triggered the 
lockup :-(
