Firefox, you must kill the process.

The actual freeze happens at random on a page - the actual page changes each time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.thestar.com
2. Surf around a while

Actual Results:  
Browser hangs.

Expected Results:  
Should not hang.

Occasionally will show an error in xpcom.dll and crash out.

I opened over 100 pages/link and didn't see any slowdown let alone freeze.

WFM

Moox is coplaining about image problems too.
Try an official build and see if it still is a problem.
If not, please change the bug to worksforme

No problems with the site here either. Like Peter suggests, if it works with an
official build, then WFM it.
