Actually I've had a few problems with it on RH Linux 7.3 Sometimes the keyboard events get lost. I type and nothing happends. I have to restart it.

I have the same problem. I find just minimizing the window and restoring it does the trick without having to restart completely. If that doesn't work try shading and unshading (double click the titlebar on kde).

Or just refocusing: alt-tab alt-shift-tab on many window managers. It's still annoying though.

This problem almost brought me to tears (and to switching browsers). It existed in the Debian packages over many versions. However, I finally tried a recent nightly build from mozilla.org, and the pain is no more.
