Description

[ajit]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1

Go to facebook (winXP etc..) then when I go to photos and click on add photos the whole thing just hangs forever and brings the machine to a crawl, When I kill Firefox things come back up fine... if I try to restore session when relauching the app then firefox hangs again.... i.e. you gotta say start a new session to get firefox working again normally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to www.facebook.com
2.click photos
3. click add photos
hangs everytime...


Expected Results:  
it should have given me a window that allows me to browse my directories to select a picture to upload.

Do you get the same in the Firefox safemode ?
