My GCC is

My GCC settings is sane

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe -falign-functions=64 -mmmx -msse
-msse2"

I've tried installin the bin version "mozilla-firefox-bin" and it works
OK on the page above.
Note : It hangs (up to the point where the little 'circle" also stops
moving.

Two questions related to your compiler flags. Is there a specific
reason -falign-functions=64 is used? -O2 implies -falign-functions so
unless you have a specific need for a 64 byte alignment, it's
redundant. Secondly, AFAIK the Pentium 3 doesn't have the sse2
instruction set, only P4's do. I don't know firefox's code too well
but it's possible these random sites are triggering a branch of code
that calls sse2 code and firefox is gracefully choking.
And related to these sites that firefox chokes on, are there any
common elements they all share? Perhaps a plugin or something thats
called?
Also, could you post your emerge --info?
