[Bug 248456] [NEW] This web page causes Firefox to lock up

[neondiet]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0


Firefox loads part of the page and then freezes, going into some kind of tight internal loop.  The window (in Ubuntu) goes grey and Firefox starts consuming large amounts of cpu.   The process has to be killed and FF restarted.

I've tried loading this page 3 times and it does the same thing each
time, so it should be a good reproducer.
