If i put to open a url that does not exists (any domain that is not registered or can not be accessed) the browser crashs temporarily (about 3 seconds) and return, but i think that crash is relatively serious and should be fixed.

There is a small delay because Firefox tries to autocomplete the domain but I can't see a freeze or something that looks like a crash.

But this "small delay" is about 3-6 seconds, i tested again in this moment, and the "small delay" was almost 7 seconds. I think this "small delay" is a "big delay".
