My problem was a bit different in that firefox is not involved. So no
guarantee. Please refer to the above bug #528312. The bug report is
long and there are multiple fixes proposed.

The origin:
Comment #70
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528312#c70
Short version:
1. Downloaded xorg-x11-drv-intel source.
2. Build it without uevent.patch
Long version:
1. Downloaded xorg-x11-drv-intel source.
$ yumdownloader --source xorg-x11-drv-intel
2. Install packages required for building the package.
$ sudo yum-builddep xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-5.fc13.src.rpm
3. Create ~/rpmbuild tree and install src files there
$ rpmdev-setuptree
$ rpm -ivh xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-5.fc13.src.rpm
4. Move to ~/rpmbuild
$ cd ~/rpmbuild
5. Remove uevent.patch
Delete (or comment out) the two lines from
SPECS/xorg-x11-drv-intel.spec :
"Patch60: uevent.patch"
and
"%patch60 -p1 -b .uevent"
6. Build
$ rpmbuild -bb SPECS/xorg-x11-drv-intel.spec
7. Install
$ sudo rpm -i --force RPMS/XXX/xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-5.fc13.XXX.rpm
thanks, after installation of locally-built xorg-x11-drv-intel, I feel
it fixed partially the problem. The desktop is still intermittently
freezing, but less frequent.
my observations are:
this is very likely caused by Firefox's npviewer.bin
in my case, this occurred after kenerl upgraded to kernel-2.6.34
my temperate work-around is installation of flashblock plugin
