Browser freeze on some particular pages without possibility to interrupt content loading (see attached page).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached page.

Actual Results:  
Browser is loading infinitely, and it is not responding, so you cannot even
press the 'Stop' button to break the loading process. When you press 'Close'
window button, the dialog about not responding is displayed.

The attached pages are prepared intentionally in that way in order to test the
robustness of browser.


Expected Results:  
Page is loaded and rendered correctly in a few seconds and browser is
responding during loading of that page.

There are w whole bunch of nested marquee tags which is causing the slow-down (although an actual crash, I couldn't reproduce), the bug for the hang is bug #239840.
