(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Marcus Strehlow]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12

This issue appears to be consistent in the beta versions, however, only with Digg.com. The page content itself loads perfectly fine. Toward the end, when all content is finished, the browser tries to fetch information from a server from Digg, and for some reason the browser never finishes loading. This affects all sites from Digg, like the front page, a comment page, a section, everything on Digg. I have not seen this issue with Firefox 2, where every page finishes loading.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Digg.com
2. Wait until the page's main content is finished, then look at the status bar of loading the page
Actual Results:  
Browser appears to be caught in an endless loop, never finishes loading the page.

Expected Results:  
Page should have finished loading after some seconds.

As Firefox 3 does not yet support themes, I have been using the default theme. Also, no extensions are supported yet, which means that also no extensions could have contributed to this issue.
