Load any directory listing that is fairly large (1000+ files in the listing).
The CPU will go to 99% for a varying amount of time. This is confirmed to be a
firefox only bug as it doesnt happen in konqueror, opera, or IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the sample URL

Actual Results:  
99% cpu for 20-30 seconds

Expected Results:  
no high cpu usage
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050808 Firefox/1.0+

I see the same CPU usage in Firefox and in Opera. Possibly the page was cached
in Opera and IE.
The URL is gone.
Resolving this as invalid.

The url that was provided to reproduce this bug results since a while in a 404 Error. 

Joshua, if you still can reproduce this bug, feel free to reopen this bug, please provide a testcase or url then.

Gee, a url is invalid after 2 years of remaining open. Go mozilla team! I wont bother reposting a url as this just removed me as a firefox user. Thanks!
