ubuntu 8.04 and firefox 3 woes

[jdawg]

I have notice more with v3, that I find my system "freezing" up, when a 
page doesn't load.
Most of the time it is ok, but sometimes it becomes excruciatingly slow 
to click on any other app, or trying to cancel firefox.
When firefox is eventually cancelled, the system goes back to normal.

I am running firefox now using this command.
nice -n +4 firefox, which seems to help.

I wanted to know if anyone else has experience extreme slow-downs 
because of firefox 3.
