Description

[Joshua Levine]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

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

I see the same CPU usage in Firefox and in Opera. Possibly the page was cached
in Opera and IE.

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!
