content/cookie is missing from the installed-chrome.txt file - just testing
fixing that fixes the problem.

Ian, I don't know why you reset the severity to normal, it is definitly not.
This bug causes FF to freeze if a site requests a cookie.
People using the "Ask Me Every Time" option run from 1 freeze into the other.
(I guess the bug description didn't say that, but it's a sideeffect)

->MAJOR

I didn't mean to, got a mid-air collision, so went back, reloaded and committed
again but for some reason a reload didn't pick up the severity had changed. I'd
say it was actually critical as the only way to get out is to kill it.

Leaving bug open so bsmedberg can look into why this happening and if there is a
better solution.
Changing to normal on purpose this time.
