I can see this if I go to  
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/  
  
Browser starts showing page contents, and then hangs. Sometimes it comes back 
for a short period of time (a couple of seconds). During all the time, CPU 
stays at 100%. 
 
Using version 1.0.2, with the following extensions: 
 
Tabbrowser Preferences 1.2.2 
Open Java Console 0.6 
FlashGot 0.5.7.8 
GMail Notifier 0.4.2 
Tweak Network 1.0 
AdBlock v.5 d2 * nightly 39

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
