(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

There is an entry that says that the History menu is slow to open, but it also says "Fixed", so I want you to know that it isn't fixed.  When I access the History menu, FF freezes for at least a minute.  In fact, FF will freeze even if I just pass the cursor over the History menu.  It is quite annoying!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Pass cursor over History menu.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
FF freezes for at least a minute.  The time that it is frozen seems to be less than before, but it is still at least a minute.  I should note that FF freezes like this only the first time I access the History menu (although I haven't tested this out extensively).  This happens for EACH FF WINDOW that is open.  The first time the History menu is accessed in each window, there is a freeze.

Expected Results:  
Frustration!

Since opening the History menu does not access any of the features within the History menu, I don't see why it should freeze at all.

Also, clicking on menu items file/edit/view/history etc., freezes FF on View and History; no recovery, FF must be shut down via task manager.  Version is 2.0.0.10, freshly upgraded, problem still exists from previous versions; OS is Win2K server, sp 4.
