(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael 'euphoria' Greene]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040604 Firefox/0.7 StumbleUpon/1.901 (stipe)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040604 Firefox/0.7 StumbleUpon/1.901 (stipe)

Before Firefox displays any content, it hangs when going to
http://google.com/adsense.  There are alternate ways to get to Google's AdSense
website, but this is the most convenient - and the URL works fine in alternate
browsers (IE, Opera, and Konqueror tested).  Bug has been occurring in builds
for the past three weeks (at least.  unknown if earlier.), in official nightlies
(used one) and two different alternate builds.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type http://google.com/adsense into the Address Bar.
2. Press the "Go" button, or enter on your keyboard.
3. Watch.

Actual Results:  
Firefox stops responding to mouse or keyboard events, and must be terminated
through the Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del)

Expected Results:  
Gone to Google's AdSense website, and displayed it in the browser area.

Default theme.

Isn't it a dupe of Bug 242869?

No dupe; 242869 is a problem with login.  This bug is a problem with not
displaying AdSense *at all* through that address.
