I'm running Mozilla 1.5b, and I've found it hangs when the Flashplugin
tries to output sound. fstat shows that /dev/dsp0.0 is opened by
Mozilla. Other apps can't open it and sometimes hang if they don't
timeout.

With Acroread, I found that it was fine until I clicked with the mouse
on the PDF file; then the acroread process hangs, and so does my
mouse. I had to use keyboard commands to kill acroread in order to get
the mouse back again. So I stopped using it as a plugin.

Those aare my $0.02 FWIW.
