The same situation happens in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070208 Mandriva/2.0.0.6-1mdv2007.1 (2007.1) Firefox/2.0.0.6 
CPU load is about 90-100% on both cores of Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 5600+ . However  the load is changing, like some real activity is still going on in FF.  But nothing visible happens except more and more memory eaten by Firefox.

Konqueror 3.5.6 quickly forms print preview of the same page. So it seems more like Firefox problem.

Hang seems related to the images on that page, I got no hang when I disallowed loading images. Same bug seen on the german version http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdatmosph%C3%A4re

This page contains consecutive floats with overflow:hidden, hangs on branch with Print Preview (100% CPU, memory steadily increasing) and doesn't hang with current trunk.

Marking as duplicate.
