  Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
  
  Sometimes, when middle-clicking a link to open a page in a new tab,
  Firefox freezes up completely.  The tab opens and the page begins to
- load, but after a couple of seconds, it freezes.  The Gnome panels
- freeze as well and moving the mouse pointer over an icon doesn't
+ load, but after a couple of seconds, it freezes.  The Gnome panels seem
+ to freeze as well; moving the mouse pointer over an icon doesn't
  highlight it.  I can't close Firefox or open or switch to another
  program.  Keyboard shortcuts to open programs don't work.  The only
  thing to do is to force reboot.
  
  However, other programs still run in the background.  Rhythmbox keeps on
  playing music, and hovering the mouse pointer over its panel icon
  actually shows the info box.  The panel clock keeps on ticking.
  
  This has only happened with external links to other sites, but I don't
  know if that's just a coincidence or not.  It happens maybe once every
  five hours or so.  I have Flashblock 1.5.11.2 and Adblock 0.5.3.043
  installed, as well as Rotate Image 0.1.3.2, DownThemAll 1.1.7 and
- LeetKey 1.4.3 installed, with compatibility checking turned off.  The
- problem doesn't seem to depend on the content of the page opened.  The
- newly opened tab has always been out of focus when this happens, which
- may or may not be important.

  The last two sites it happened with were http://www.anamanaguchi.com and
