Please don't doubt him... he isn't the only one seeing a problem. I've
had the same issue across multiple windows and linux platforms. If
something hangs during the page load, nothing else in Firefox will work
until that page finally finishes or starts loading more or less
normally. While the page is loading the problem is considerably less
noticable, but if one page load hangs up in the least little way, then
the whole application hangs... Firefox is still my browser of choice,
but that little quirk is more than a bit annoying.

Agreed, I've had a problem similar to this for as long as I can
remember Mozilla tabbing by default.

I log into a private page to check some statistics
(stats/links/logs/etc.). I usually tab-click it to a background tab.
It has quite a bit of data (but no animations/flash/JS), however while
that tab loads in the background, Firefox is more or less frozen. It
seems better in Windows but its pretty bad in Gnome. Although I
haven't tested Opera in a while, Opera in Linux seems to do a much
better job at loading those background tabs while keeping the browser
responsive.

It has improved, but it seems to me that has more to do with having a
much better computer and internet connection now.

Just my observations.
