Presumably the same trick would work with Firebird, but unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a control for disabling that "feature". I don't think this has anything to do with the video hardware or drivers you're using -- I guess that was just a coincidence. You must have installed or upgraded Mozilla around the same time. This pausing thing was introduced around the same time as Mozilla 1.3 was released. It's not just FreeBSD that suffers either. There have been bug reports in Mozilla's Bugzilla DB for some time, but the problem still persists.
