Description

[Jürgen Kreileder]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b99) Gecko/20090605 Firefox/3.5b99
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b99) Gecko/20090605 Firefox/3.5b99

When I'm tagging a picture on flickr and let the site display all my existing tags (about 100) via "Get all of my tags", CPU usage instantly goes up to 100%.
Firefox is pretty much unusable in this state until I leave the page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to one of your pictures on Flickr
2. Click "Add tag"
3. Click "Choose from your tags"
4. Click "get all of your tags" (this puts links to about 100 tags in the page in my case)
Actual Results:  
100% CPU usage, Firefox unusable

Expected Results:  
low CPU usage

* javascript.options.jit.content=true
* happens in safe-mdoe

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox 3.6.x or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and comment on the bug.
