Steps:

  1. Open Facebook and log in.
  2. As soon as your home page loads with the news feed and all, press VoiceOver+Cmd+H several times until you get to the Heading 1 for the News feed.
  3. VoiceOver+RightArrow into the Main element.
    • Result: VoiceOver starts saying "Busy" "busy", and Firefox freezes completely.

Note that my account has the new design that was rolled out throughout the last few months. I can no longer switch back to the old design, so don't know if that also reproduces this bug.

Another page that immediately freezes Firefox indefinitely on load is the World War I page on Wikipedia.

This turned out to be a manifestation of bug 1673192, the media freeze.
