When 4 or more tabs are opened and pages are being loaded, if you move the mouse over the tabs (without clicking), one of the tabs may stick to mouse pointer. If it sticks, system & fx hangs but mouse moves, with the pointer icon changed to 'move tab/something' icon... Hang goes on for 2-3 minutes. Than page reloads and everything comes back to normal. This also happens sometimes when moving something within a page (copy text from a form to another in same web page or to another program). 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:

Expected Results:  
handle tabs and moving objects easily like epiphany etc.

system is ubuntu 5.10, used tar file to install.
Version: unspecified → 1.5 Branch
Look forward to seeing this fixed in 1.5.0.1, or if you want a fix now you can download and use a current trunk build: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/
