I'm still trying to find a specific answer that promises to resolve this issue. Thanks for any suggestions...

Apart from that, I don't have any plugins or add-ons... no toolbars, no Skype, you get the picture. This has happened on multiple computers with fresh installs of XP Pro SP2. The moments when it hangs will seem to be completely random too. I'll visit the same set of sites I usually visit, sometimes it'll start hanging immediately, sometimes it'll hang after an hour. Very strange, and very annoying. Actually I was wrong, I do have the latest version of Flash.

Managing a support forum, I can assure that a lot of problems are due to plugin (RealPlayer) or extensions (Skype, Java Quick Starter, sometimes Google Toolbar).

I've been having the same issue on multiple computers for roughly 3 months now, including 2 running a fresh installation of Windows XP SP2 with absolutely nothing on them. No illegal crap, no FireFox plugins/applications, nothing. The Mozilla development crew better get on this BS quickly because they're going to lose a lot of support if this keeps happening.
