I have been noticing that firefox will freeze my screen periodically and I have to reboot to free. Is there a fix for this problem? If there is I haven't notice.
What your Firefox version?
I hadn't any problem ... I'm with F12 Fully updated.. ( rawhide disabled )

I (and others) had this problem on F11, and nothing seemed to work to fix it (you should be able to find it by searching the archives). Finally, I ended up compiling a custom kernel using the instructions at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel
I eliminate all unnecessary functionality, and tune for my hardware. I think the main things that fixed the problem were eliminating the lower 128K of memory from user space (what a kludge!), making the desktop preemptable, and raising the tick frequency to 1000. I eliminate a lot of the kernel hacking stuff as well, which is pretty intrusive. It worked so well on F11 that I do it on F12 too. Once the initial effort is made, the same config file can be used in the future with minimal input.
I haven't had the problem since. Drastic, but effective.
On the other hand it could be like that old joke about the tigers.
A passerby in a city sees a man sprinkling flour in intricate patterns around his house. He asks him what he is doing. The flour sprinkler says, "I'm putting in place tiger repellant." The passerby says, "There are no tigers around here!" The flour sprinkler says, "Effective, isn't it."

Exactly. For a start, Fedora's default kernel config is tickless (NOHZ is enabled) by default.

That does not mean that the HZ setting has no effect ;)
The kernel is not fully tickless yet, regardless we already have CONFIG_HZ=1000 and CONFIG_HZ_1000=y set ;)
