(Keywords: hang, perf) 

In Win and Mac Firefox 1.5.0.3, myspace URL http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=15644 sends the CPU up and hangs the browser. This does not happen with Safari or Win IE.

Unfortunately, I have not tried to create an HTML page that will do this and stored it away, so if this myspace page changes, this bug might be UTR as well.

From a backtrace, it appears that Firefox is infinitely stuck in drawing code, such as in nsFrame, nsIFrame, nsBlackFrame, etc.

This happens whether or not the Flash Player is installed.

I started to make a test case from the MySpace page when I noticed the hang was due to a large number of unclosed <marquee> tags.
