See chapter "Steps to Redproduce".

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.ebay.at
2. Search for "columbo"
3. Filter the results for DVD (on the left sided menu)
4. Go to page 2 of the results
Actual Results:  
After going to page 2, Firefox is frozen.
Other Applications still work.
The only way to continue is to kill the process and re-start Firefox. If you "continue last session" in Firefox, the site is loaded correct and works.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should not freeze ;)

This happens also when searching other things or just navigating on ebay.at.

This works fine for me, tested on Windows with a new profile.

May someone test it under Mac OS. And try it 3, 4, 5 times, as it doesn't happen always, but often.

Please try it again in the firefox safemode :

The porblem doesn't seem to occur in the safemode.

Comment 5

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

The Firefox safemode is just Firefox without addons and third-party Themes.
If it works in the safemode then one of your installed addons is freezing Firefox. Disable them one by one in Tools/Addons to find the one and notify the addon author about the issue.
