Rodolfo,

I'm still unsure about the origin of the problem. We are pointing to the 
web browser as the culprit for the system freeze but given that is not 
just Icewasel exposing the same issue, we can also consider another 
sources.

1/ Have you experienced the problem when running another applications 
(different than the browser)

2/ Can you still login to the system when it freezes, I mean, from ssh?

3/ Have you updated yet your Iceweasel? :-)

4/ Is there something at the logs?

5/ What VGA driver are you using and what's your VGA card?

6/ How much RAM has your system and what says "free -m" when you launch 
the browser?

Greetings,
