Please try in safe mode <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode> and see if this still occurs. If it doesn't then one of your extensions is causing the problem. You can disable your extensions and then enable the one at a time to find the one causing the problem. live.mhtml looks like part of CNN's pipeline service. You might want to contact them.

Scott, were you able to try this in safe mode? Did that fix the issue or are you still seeing it? Without more information on how to reproduce, I'm going to close this bug as INCOMPLETE. If you can reproduce this, please respond back with more information.
