problems exists for both firefox 3.6.13 (Fedora 14 x86_64 distribution version) and firefox-4.0b12pre.en-US.linux-x86_64 build: 20110202162900 With only one Firefox window with the single tab with the URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12340082 The desktop in general, and Firefox in particular becomes extremely unresponsive for well over a minute! I have tried this several times, and each time the system becomes painfully slow in the extreme. Processor utilisation of 2 out of 4 cores goes up to the equivalent of 100% utilization of one core - top tells me that xorg is running at 99.4%. this may be an xorg problem, but because it only appearsto happenf wqhen I run Firefox with the URL, I'm raising the bug here. Other people may beliave the same problem and automatically blame Firefox. Anyhow, mozilla should be aware of it. Feel free to suggest that I raise an bug on xorg, if you consider that appropriate. I will attempt to view the same URL with add-ons disabled and report back.

Gavin, it's not clear that your issue is the same as the one this bug is originally filed on. Please file a new bug on it? And yes, file a bug on xorg as well....
