starting with the page above, I opened several tabs for printers I wanted to
review.  Must have had 8-10 tabs.  Started switching between tabs to read
reviews.  Eventually the "beach ball" will just spin and Firefox freezes. 
Talkback doesn't open. Must do force quit.  Have left the system for over an
hour just to see if it was temporary - was not.

Problem has been far worse in 1.01 than 1.0.  Have repeated it 3 times today.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to page above
2.find several product reviews, open new tab for each review
3.switch between tabs to read.

It could have been a flash advertisement that you were getting. There are
certain flash advertisements that I've noticed are prone to hang Firefox.
It looks as if bug 285275 is a dup of this... but bug 285275 is getting a little
more attention... so duping to that
