I am using Arch x86_64 and Firefox is freezing 6 times every 30 minutes (YES, I have counted it it was very difficult to post this message here,a s it kept on freezing). you can read the full problem here:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=37367

I am using openchrome driver for X as "xf86-video-via" driver has a bug. this is my hardware:

AMD 64 Athlon on ASUS K8V-MX with VIA K8M800 and VT8237 chipsets
Seagate 80 GB ATA (not serial-ATA )
512 MB x2 RAMs, 400 MHz

this is from my terminal:

[arnuld@Arch64 ~]$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter (rev 01)
[arnuld@Arch64 ~]$

[arnuld@Arch64 ~]$ dmesg | grep VGA
fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device
[arnuld@Arch64 ~]$

have u tried deleting your firefox config stuff?
rm -rf ~/.mozilla
backup your bookmarks before you do this though, and remember that doing this will cause you to lose all your themes/extensions.

could it be that you are using some buggy plugins?

I don't have any plugins installed.

I also tried removing and reinstalling firefox but that does not help. One thing I have forgotten to mention is that I can open and read my Wordpress blog and everything runs fine but when i login an try to edit my blog only then Firefox freezes . So is this the server-side problem ? (I can't do anything with Firefox after that because it menus cannot be accessed, it offers no clicking, nothing at all and my whole system goes Hell-slow )

:: EDIT ::

I went to a cyber-cafe, ran Firefox and opened my blog there ..... WHAT .... it doe snot display the page. Then I opened www.wordpress.com and tried login-ed and then tried to open my blog but again then wordpress refused to open by blog. I don't know what the hell is going on. I tried to reply to them but all i get was "Support Closed" from Wordpress.

seems like Wordpress has some problems. Can all of you, just login and check your own blogs at wordpress ?

only that way, i can know if Wordpress has removed my nice and decent blog

OK, guys, I have found the problem. The problems is wordpress, not Firefox or Arch x86_64:
