This is somewhat related to this bug report - Firefox (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2) does momentarily hang on
long web sites that are really long, have a LOT of drop down lists, etc. Sample
URL: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html - it hangs on my newer
system (Pentium 3.0+ Ghz) for 10+ seconds before unfreezing again. In contrast,
Mozilla 1.7.5 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041217), the page renders almost instantaneously. I've seen this
behavior with other sites - such as
http://www.cactusranch.com/devils/msgboard.html (not as bad, but the same). This
is a case where Mozilla clearly outperforms Firefox, IMO.

I also had to abandon one particular web form I set up with dozens of drop down
lists that would hang Firefox for 30 seconds (has since been recoded w/o all the
DDLs, so I don't have that sample URL ATM, I could reproduce it, I think, if
you'd like).
