has already been brought up. I'm having a problem with my desktop
freezing up, and I'm running Cent OS 6. It seems to happen while I'm
running firefox. I'm not sure if it's firefox, or the OS that's locking
up. When it freezes up, nothing will respond, so I'm inclined  to think
it's the OS that's freezing up. Has anyone else been having this
problem?

I wouldn't say "many", but yes, it does. It also does things like slowing
to a crawl, and then there's when I allow something via noscript, and
refresh the page... and then have to refresh and restart the streaming
media that's running in another tab.
