commTalk.de uses an oldish forum software which worked fine with Firefox 3.0 but causes FF 3.5.x to freeze frequently.

Only hint i found is a warning in the error console:
Warning: Error in parsing value for 'font-weight'.  Declaration dropped.

2.
3.
Actual Results:  
At some random point the browser stops freezes

Expected Results:  
No freezing

A warning will probably not lead to any freeze but maybe an exception does:

Error: [Exception... "update.locale file doesn't exist in either the XCurProcD or GreD directories"  nsresult: "0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.2/components/nsUpdateService.js :: getLocale :: line 549"  data: no]

Jorg does this happen on pages with lot of checkboxes or other input fields?
