Firefox Karmic freezing (+-solved)

Thanks Bruce, Ric, Marcelo and John,
As John said, Flash Plugin was the culprit.

Strange, it is up to date and still posing problems to me. I will soon find out 
if I really miss it. At least FireFox is usable now for what I need most.
Concerning Icedtea, also mentioned by Ric, I had already replaced it with 
Sun's plugin.

I waited much more (15 minutes?) and nothing happened (I tried with 
wordreference)
I could experiment some more because on some occasions I did had a requester 
telling me that FF was not responding and asking to kill it (perhaps on 
another site), but who really cares.
