Works for me with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs for possible solutions.

I'm reproducing this by launching firefox, opening a second tab, then opening gmail in either the first or the second tab. There doesn't need to be anything loaded in the other tab.

Does this happen in Safe Mode? (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode)

Please reopen if you can reproduce with a trunk nightly build.
