[Bug 606679] [NEW] firefox hangs intermittently for no apparent reason.

[ErikMaes]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox tends to hang repeatedly for no apparent reason. I need to
killall firefox to get rid of it.

I ran firefox --debug and gdb tells me this: 
Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
