(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Jari Mäkelä]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11

On some pages text size increase hangs the browser. The process does not finish but it becomes impossible to scroll page or to switch tabs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://plaza.fi/ellit/ihmissuhteet/100-naista/13-pullaa-ja-pehmeita-tunteita-6100
2. Press Command and '+' to increase the font size

Actual Results:  
Font size does not change. Firefox stops working. Cannot scroll. Cannot switch tab (window header will change but tab will not change). Cannot go back or forth (window header will change again). Can only quit (which works ok if pressing Command 'Q')

Expected Results:  
Should resize font properly.

Could not reproduce in Windows XP.

Sorry: to reproduce, error in step two. Should read "Press Command and '+' twice"
