Firefox and Mozilla freeze when using "Save link as"

	Thanks for your answer.

	I think that is not the problem. Here is my list of mounted filesystems:

	/dev/ad0s2a on / (ufs, local)
	devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
	/dev/ad0s2e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
	/dev/ad0s2f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
	/dev/ad0s2d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
	linprocfs on /usr/compat/linux/proc (linprocfs, local)
	devfs on /var/named/dev (devfs, local)

	I am able to stat all of them manually, and i think none should be
giving me any problems. It also happens when unmounting
/usr/compat/linux/proc, and all the other filesystems im using cannot be
unounted.

	Im adding a little bit more of information that may be relevant. Mi
browser is configured to ask me where to save every file, and on the
Downloads section of the Preferences menu, i can choose another folder
using the "Other" option and browsing though my filesystem, but Firefox
also hangs if i click the "Show Folder" button.

	All files on my home directory are readable and writable by my user,
and Firefox also hangs when running as root.

	Maybe i should file this as a bug for Firefox on their bugzilla.

Thanks, Pedro.
