Confirming bug. This bug occurs because the list item where the data are pasted
has no enclosing list... Conclusions :

(a) the markup of that page is invalid....
(b) I hope that this invalid markup is not generated by our bookmarks export
(c) mozilla hangs probably because it can't find an OL or an UL above the LI
(d) wherever we decide to accept paste or not, Mozilla should not hang

Daniel is working on a new patch to address the same problem in other nearby
blocks of code (table, etc)

This problem is not limited to the case with a missing UL.
This is demonstrated by http://www.ce.chalmers.se/~dahlberg/mozillatest1.html
Here a hang occurs for a list surrounded by UL  /UL

The bug assignee didn't login in Bugzilla in the last months and this bug has severity 'critical'.
:hsinyi, could you have a look please?

The urls in the previous comments are not accessible. I think we can close this as INCOMPLETE and file a new one when we encounter a new hang issue.
