[Bug 600112] [NEW] firefox freezes on load

[tiggsy]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

On starting up Firefox in the morning, with say 15-20 tabs in the
session, sometimes - more frequently lately - the package freezes, the
loading symbols freeze on each tab, and nothing further occurs unless
firefox is closed and restarted. This morning it took 4 goes to get it
working.

This has only started happening in the last couple of versions.
Previously I was able to load up to 50 tabs without problems (when
tabkit still worked). It doesn't seem to matter whether I have more than
1 window open (i generally run radio 4 in a separate window).
