Browsing several sites that have heavy animated graphics (flash, animated GIF)
such as http://www.jaring.my/ might freeze Mozilla. The effect is more obvious
if several tab is opened, and each tab contains heavily animated graphics page.
The freezing might happen when you try to scroll the page up and down.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open several heavy animated graphics page on different tab
2. Scroll up and down on one of the page


Actual Results:  
Mozilla and Linux might hang after/during the scrolling of the page

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should not hang, and the animated graphic should render properly
