Doing an strace on the firefox process after it hangs will always give you this...

| $ strace -p 6688
| Process 6688 attached - interrupt to quit
| futex(0xac041bd8, FUTEX_WAIT, 6710, NULL

I'm guessing process 6710 is the flash process/thread. So it must be that the flash process hanged and firefox is infinitely waiting for it to finish. Opera must be handling it better by not infinitely waiting for the flash process to finish.
