the page loads, but it seems that it uses too much ram.  it freezes again and again. unlocks after a minute or 2.  only appears to happen on long pages.  also happens on thier zip manager page.  i have had no other probs with it.  i expeirenced 1 other 'freeze' on edrugtrader.com.  but it hasn't happened since.
also the scrolling seems very, rough.  when i scroll either way, the words and pictures seem to be 1/2 tehre.  sometimes not at all.  when changing tabs, sometimes they dont refresh, i have to do it again.
everything else works great :)  few visuals need werk.  the freeze thing gets annoying

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.goto easynews, load a large active group.
2.watch it freeze.  then the page loads
3.start scrooling down, watch it freeze
4.  select waht you wish to add to que (easynews que), and click on the lil box to type in, 3-4 letters then it freezes.
5.finsih typing the word, and it freezes 1 more time before click the 'add to que' button.
sometimes it freezes when another page opens
Actual Results:  
no info lost, jsut takes more time.

Expected Results:  
not freeze

jsut the scrolling thing and the freezing thing.  as mentioned, it only happpens on long pages.  i dont browse often, thats one of the few sites i goto.
it has NEVER crashed.
not once.

> Page needs username/password

i cannot give a password, but i have a feeling the same would happen in a forum, where the page its 16 miles long.  i am not short on ram, as i have 4 gigs in my system, and firefox does use the most, by not that much. 160 meg was the most i seen, maybe not enuff.  i will try to find a forum to reproduce this error.

I have the same problem on easynews.com with both Minefield and Shiretoko. But not with any version of Firefox.
My first guess was that it had something to do with a large number of hyperlinks on a page, but http://stommel.tamu.edu/~baum/hyperref.html loads and navigates without a problem.

So now we have to find a Firefox developer with an Easynews account. Or maybe I could ask one of the Easynews site admins to help us out. They are big-time Firefox fans.

Be sure that you are testing in the Firefox safemode.
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

If you still get a hang use https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_with_WinDbg and use the command "!analyze -v -hang"
