Going to retrosheet in FF3b5, the page loads fine, then pauses for a moment. Then FireFox crashes.

As a note, I submitted this multiple times with the built-in crash-logger thingy -- not sure if that goes anywhere.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.retrosheet.org/
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Firefox crashed.

Expected Results:  
Firefox doesn't crash.

I do have a few extensions installed -- firebug, adblock, flashblock, UA Switcher. None of them were in use for retrosheet (the site doesn't use flash, has no ads, I use the default UA, and I didn't have firebug up), but they were installed and enabled.
Type about:crashes and provide 1-3 crash ids from such a crash.
Please also run firefox in the Firefox safemode (do that the next time before you write a bug report)  and try it again in the safemode.

If this works in the safemode you can disable the addons one-by-one.
You could also try a nightly build if this one got already fixed.

Crash reports:

21e75bae-ff64-11dc-ba39-001a4bd43e5c

That's pretty neat; didn't know I could get a stacktrace like that. I'll try to make the time to use safemode or a nightly at some point, but it looks like this is an infinite recursion in JEMAlloc -- kinda doubt a plug-in could cause that.
which plugin besides flash, java, Acrobat Reader, the default plugin do you have installed ?

Tried out in safe mode -- the browser gets to the same point but then freezes and spikes my CPU for about 10 seconds. After that, it seems fine.

Reloading the page produces the same behavior. I'm running on a fairly powerful machine -- I strongly suspect the CPU hogging is a bug. That said, it doesn't crash in safe mode, so it's possible this should go from "critical" to "severe".

Sorry, right term is "critical" to "major".

The signature is XPCJSStackFrame::CreateStack, if you disable firebug the crash will go away. I have a bug somewhere about making CreateStack not be recursive. I even have a patch.

While running in safe mode does prevent the crash (assumedly because Firebug is disabled), it does *not* prevent bad behavior (as noted above). Never done anything with an FF bug before, so not sure what to do with this -- refile as a performance issue, change name of this bug? Leave as is?
Please avoid it to quote the full text if not necessary because it makes the bug less readable. This should be bug 303821, i will mark as dupe.

Please retest this with a nightly build and if the crash is not fixed reopen this bug. The 10s freeze itself matches the crash, a recursive script must be on that page.
