User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

I've noticed over the last month or so that I will occasionally hang firefox when accessing pages on cnn.com. In every case, the information at the bottom of the page indicates:

Transferring data from secure-us.imrworldwide.com

When this happens, the browser hangs. I can kill individual tabs, but none of them will refresh. I end up having to kill the browser and restart it.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.browse CNN web content

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

I have not seen this issue in a while, but it's hard to tell if it's the browser that's fixed, or if the offending site no longer exports the pages that caused this. Closing.
