[Bug 294758] [NEW] Firefox hangs

[Paul4]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Search for this text in google ( in the firefox search bar at the top )
"mcgregor tartan throw blanket"

Then click on the link called (About 8 links down):

"http://www.stylefeeder.com/i/rj5vd8c4/Okuma-Celilo-4-Apos-6-Quot-1 ..."

Firefox will use 100% CPU and thrash the disk.
The link seems to be going to "www.stylefeeder.com/sitemap-items-k103.xml" but that URL entered directly into firefox does not crash it. It only crashes firefox if you click on the link from the google search page.

Hope this helps,
Paul
