User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en; rv:1.8.1.12pre) Gecko/20080118 Camino/1.6b2 (like Firefox/2.0.0.12pre)

I set Firefox to clear my private data and ask for my confirmation when I quit the application.
The result: the clear private data window is displayed and Firefox hangs (CPU usage goes through the roof).
Firefox then needs to be killed manually.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Firefox
2. Set Clear private data when quitting
3. Set ask for confirmation when clearing private data
4. Do some browsing
5. Shutdown Firefox
6. click OK in the clear private data window
Actual Results:  
Clear private data window appears. Firefox hangs with up to 100% CPU usage and the process must be killed.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should clear the private data and quit normally.

No extensions installed. Clean profile.

It's a hang, not a crash.
