I am most often switching from http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/ or other URL on that site, though I think I have seen the problem with other sites.  Clicking on a button or an email causes Firefox to lock up.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open mail and read some.
2. Go to other site in another tab, do some stuff.
3. Return to mail.
4. Click on a button or double-click an email in the list.
Actual Results:  
No response from Firefox for any action; had to shut it down from the system.

Expected Results:  
Action associated with button, or view mail.
