I posted a question to seemingly similar bug
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75649
and was advised to post a new bugreport. I'm not and expert on webdesign, so I
can only tell you that browsing www.gsf.de show this kind of a problem. Please
look into the bug 75649 for exactl log of what happens.

I agree the spate of warnings and occasional assertion Mozilla emits during
normal operations are annoying. Worrying, even. That could well be the subject
of a bug. However most of the warnings in your log seem to be legitimate
complaints about the quality of the HTML at gsf.de.

Is it the "trying to position a sizeless window" warning in particular that
you're worried about? Yes that's the Mozilla source complaining that someone is
misusing it. It's a largely self-correcting problem but I think still it's
worthy of a (new) bug report. In that report, please do mention what window is
being opened and how to open it. gsf.de doesn't seem to be attempting to open
any popup windows, and I sure don't get that warning when I drop in for a visit.

The website seems to get unusable for me, my harddisk is heavily swapping after
some time, after 5 minutes I killed Mozilla, as I couldn´t switch the tabs to
kill the site, response was too slow.
I went to this site multiple times, with a fresh started mozilla, and JS console
opened.

I get tons of warnings, and sometimes JS seems to go into an endless loop.
Once I got an error. The js for the menu is a cross browser version, testing for
Netscape 6 and Netscape 6.1, and opera.

The log in bug 75649 comment 23 which this bug is about contains the output that
used to appear when a new profile was created. This output contained a warning
which was already reported in bug 79504. It has nothing to do with the website
http://www.gsf.de.
