I have seen the same problem (freezes for several seconds)
and changed this config.

I'm still waiting for similar issues to reappear.

My firefox process currently has 3.6 GB RAM with 3.1 GB RSS (!)

That was much better in the past. I had firefox running for several
month with heavy browsing. Now I need to restart it every 1-2 weeks.
Hmm, one thing: I had gnash-0.8.10_10 installed. Deleted it now.

firefox-28.0,1 on 9.2-RELEASE-p4 amd64.
