422374 - Opening "Gmail settings" causes 100% CPU usage

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Antonio Augusto Santos]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030714 Firefox/3.0b4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030714 Firefox/3.0b4

When trying to open the settings for Gmail it never ends loading and the cpu usage goes to 100%. I can still browse and even open other pages on gmail to see my e-mail, but 100% keeps at 100%.
Using the "new" Gmail version, with lables coloring and all other whistles. 

Probably this is a JavaScript bug, but since i'm no JS expert, and don't even know where to start debugging i'm passing this one to the pros! :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Login in a gmail account
2.Click on the settings button
Actual Results:  
Settings page never shows up. "Loading" message is displayed on top of screen forever. Cpu usage goes 100%.

Expected Results:  
Open the settings page and leave my CPU alone :)

This WFM; I see no significant change in CPU usage and certainly no hang.
