If I click 'compose new message' in Gmail, start typing an email address into the to: field, then middle click the gmail tab to close it (accepting "are you sure you wish to navigate away from this page" warning), firefox CPU usage maxes to 100% and crashes. I've repeated this about 6 times.

Reproducible: Always

1.click 'compose new message' in Gmail
2.start typing an email address into the to: field
3.quickly close the tab, before the message is saved by AJAX
Actual Results:  
Crashes

Expected Results:  
Close tab successfully

I have attempted to reproduce this bug and it does not appear to affect me.

Tested on both a Vista and XP system with Firefox 3.
