User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

I had 8 tabs open, including 2 on Imageshack.us, and I was uploading 2 (very small) files.
The first file has correctly be uploaded, but Firefox hanged on the second imageshack tab. No response anymore from Firefox. Under Windows Taskman, and I saw 100% CPU used by Firefox and I had to kill it.

It's in my opinion a very old bug still there. I already encountered this a lot of time with 1.5* (firefox hang) when writing down messages in forms (for example on bulletin board form reply).

I have a few extensions included : 
- adblock plus
- allinone sidebar
- delicious
- dom inspector
- flashgot
- forecastfox
- foxmarks bookmark synchronizer
- free download manager plugin
- get jetable mail
- gmail notifier
- linkchecker
- pdf download
- sage
- viewsourcewith
- web developper

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
No hangs !

Can't reproduce a hang.
Imageshack has usually moving flash ads which can take a lot of CPU time. It is also a very popular site that can take a long time to reach.
Please retest with disabled extensions or in Firefox's safe-mode.
