The problem remains.
The recent update to the flash plugin has made no difference.
No one except Peter Laws and myself seem to have this problem. ??
I've seen no reports here, nor in in alt.os.linux.ubuntu, alt.os.linux,
and gmane.linux.ubuntu.user.
Does anyone know how to back off Firefox 13 to the earlier version?

More on 'symptoms' here:
The first time I bring up firefox (after a boot), it comes up as
'quickly' as it ever has. When opening a flash-y URL and the firefox
window becomes unresponsive,
I can:
1. Go off to another desktop and do something else for awhile.
When I return I _can_ scroll the window and operate all
the 'controls'. But, reloading, or clicking off to
another (flash-y) URL will lock up the window again.
2. Repeatedly click on the window CLOSE [X] button until I get
the "Not Responding" pop-up and terminate it that way.
The _next_ attempt to bring up firefox takes
A VERY LOOOONG TIME.
Running it from the CLI gives the error:
/usr/lib/firefox/plugin-container: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so: undefined symbol: PR_GetVersion
when clicking to a flash-y URL.

Nope. Just removed flashblock entirely, same issue. :-( As in, the browser freezes as soon as it sees
Flash content.
Ahhh!!!! So that's it! I had eliminated IPv6 and several other things,
but still the window becomes unresponsive.
I do have the flashblock plugin installed. I never checked to see it it
was still 'active'. I'll have to see if _that_ is the problem -- versus
flash itself.
