Reporter, could you please try with a nightly firefox build?

And report if the problem has gone/still exists. Thanks!

WFM with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8b2)
Gecko/20050603 Firefox/1.0+ and an Windows 2003 Enterprise Server with SP1.

Firefox was running an 1,5 hours without Problems on this System. So i resolve
this as WFM.

Bill, if this problem occur again, please try again a nightly.
