Some Web pages make Mozilla 1.7.11, Firefox 1.0 - 1.0.7, Galeon 1.3.x (built with Firefox) and Konqueror (KDE 3.4.2) freeze. Two examples are: (1) http://www.theinquirer.net (2) http://beta.news.com.com/Ubuntu+carves+niche+in+Linux+landscape/2100-7344_3-5886194.html All of the aforementioned Web browsers freeze on (1), and all but Mozilla freeze on (2). I think this problem has existed for at least six months. Browsers which are not affected at all include Elinks, Links, Dillo, Netscape 4.8 and Opera 8.5.

Works fine here. I see those pages uses flash ... remove the flash and shockwave symlinks in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/, and restart the browser, and reopen if still an issue, or do a new bug for flash if that fixed it.
Yes, I think it is a Flash problem. Thanks for the input. I have filed this as Bug #107956.
