User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When I load this page my CPU pegs (I have dual 2.5Ghz G5 power mac). Eventually
the page is rendered but if I try to scroll the page at all, the CPU again pegs
and the page eventually scrolls. If I try to search I am not sure that ever works.

I tried the same page in Safari and it works fine.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the specified URL
2. Page down one page at a time.
3.

Actual Results:  
The page came up slowly at first and both CPUs were pegged.
When I paged down same thing happened. It's unusable.


Expected Results:  
Been nice and smooth and awesome like 99.99% of the pages I have ever visited.

And it works for me, now, as well.

Maybe because I quit and then restarted Firefox since yesterday?

Not sure what to say. If you want to close this bug we can re-open it again
later if we can come up with more information about what led up to the problem.

I am seeing this problem over and over and random web sites. I do not know what
is wrong, but firefox gets very slow. I will load a page, short, maybe three
screens, simple layout, BOTH CPUs pegged and my CPU fans turn on, and finally
the short little page is displayed.

BUT, if I quit firefox and restart it and go to the same page, zero problems.

Something is wrong. You may need to pay serious attention to this. I's a fairly
recent development.

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

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
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
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
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.
