Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

It seems to be that every time I go to the site mentioned above, or hotmail or fakku for that matter, adbrite ads tend to hang the browser for a moment before going back to normal. Hotmail's ads take a LONG time to load and causes consistent hangs on my end.

I have tried it on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome and it happened after i updated Firefox to 3.0.10, as on 3.0.9 it was fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any site with ads by adbrite.com
2. See if it hangs for a bit.
Actual Results:  
Firefox hangs for a while before returning to normal.

Expected Results:  
Normal web browsing.

Default theme, Firefox 3.0.10.
