When this has happened to me, it was because the web page currently being
loaded had a flash object which had sound. The flash plugin then tries to
open /dev/dsp (blocking until it gets it open). Mozilla keeps waiting for
the flash plugin to continue, which won't happen until the sound card has
been released by the software using it (jackd).
