You should continue to investigate the glibc thing. There was a thread
about how it's causing problems for someone running LibreOffice I
think.

You might also look more at what part of Firefox s causing the lockup.
Is it Firefox proper, or is it something caused by your homepage? For
instance, if they make use of Flash or Java it could be one of them
causing the lockup and not specifically Firefox itself. Can yo erase
Firefox preferences so that it opes to a blank page. Does it still
lock up. Have you removed all cookies, etc., to see if one of them is
causing the problems. Since fluxbox doesn't crash as often you might
work there to clean things up and then come back to KDE to see if it
has helped.

Consider an emerge -C on things you don't absolutely need, like Flash
or whatever you're using, to figure out what's involved. Also, are you
using Firefox 3 or 4? Consider trying the other.

As with other apps, try running Firefox from a terminal and see if it
throws any error messages.

Good luck,
Mark
