For some time now I have had to use another browser to search on the following site.
http://www.tv.com/

When I do a search it just keeps on searching and never shows results.

On other browsers for example Google Chrome results are shown immediately.

I really like Firefox and would like this fixed please.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load http://www.tv.com/
2. search for a tv show
3. 
Actual Results:  
Page says it has loaded but continues with the 'searching' and no results are ever shown.

Expected Results:  
results for the search should be shown within seconds

search works fine in Google Chrome

I had to wait for a while, but your link works fine for me.
Do you have the same problem in safe-mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
If not, an add-on might have caused the problem.
Other solutions might be: a reinstallation in a new empty folder and creating a new profile.
