I can't reproduce this on my machine.

Are all plug-ins up to date?

Does the issue happen in safe-mode?
(Firefox -> Help -> Restart with Add-ons Disabled)

No change - still it hangs for long time and crashes Firefox completely. Firefox recovered after 2 business days. Again I tried refresh the browser with add-ons disabled, no change on the Facebook loading hang page. I waited for 5 to 7 minutes to see what the browser does, it shows -

WARNING UNRESPONSIVE SCRIPT 
' A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

script:https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/yB/r/Vm1jnKckidu.js.26

Two buttons enabled at the bottom say -
         CONTINUE            STOP SCRIPT

This is what happened today after I tried to resolve the issue.

I think I should file crash report, do I?

The above bug was verified and worked through hardware acceleration components and not reproducible. This bug somehow fixed the 'Long hang on facebook loading' in Firefox. 
I cannot reproduce it now after the change in the hardware settings.(In windows 7)

I can't reproduce this issue on Nightly (2013-01-07) and on FF 20.b2 on Windows 7 x64. "Two buttons enabled at the bottom say"
         CONTINUE            STOP SCRIPT

theese buttons often appear while running for example and html file that contains lots of calls for same source. Using new profile or in Safe Mode certainly FF doesn't hang.

Even so Based on Comment 1, I'll let this issue Unconfirmed but I will close if no one reproduces.

I cannot reproduce it either using the latest Nightly and Firefox Beta 20.2 on Windows 7 64 bit.

Can you please be more specific? Does this still occur with the latest Firefox Nightly with certain settings turned on?

Comment 8

[Arthi]

I can't reproduce the issue in Nightly 22.0al in the current build. 

It was not reproducible after fixing the hardware issue that dragged the browser's functionality.

Thanks,
Arthi.
