I'm having the same problem with Firefox 3 on Kubuntu 8.04. Also seems to be related to ESD. If I start FF in GDB and break it during the "hang" I get this backtrace:

FF3 worked fine when I first installed the initial release of 8.04 (actually I think I started with a beta) but an update about 3 weeks ago broke it. -- Upgrade of libasound2 to 1.0.16 on xubuntu 8.04 desktop causes many applications to 'hang' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240337 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
