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
