Has anyone seen a "lock up" occur on FC6 when running Firefox?

I had beagle running in the firefox.  If you check the lower right
corner, you may see the little beagle icon.  If you click it it will
turn off.  It is a real hog from what I could tell, but I haven't
explored its consequences yet.  I just turned it off and got on with
life.
