When logged in to Facebook using minefield, I keep having the browser lock up and freeze on me when a pop-up notification appears.

too be more specific, when someone posts something or comments on something, a small box is supposed to appear in the lower left corner of the screen. Minefield stops responding when the box appears.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in to your facebook account
2. to see the bug, you will have to wait for someone to do an action that causes the pop-up

Actual Results:  
Minefield becomes unresponsive

Expected Results:  
a pop-up notification appears in the lower left telling you who did what.

I tried to get a stack trace using visual studio, but it seems that whenever I pause the process, the problem disappears and unpausing the process causes the pop-up to reappear.

Any ideas on why this is happening?

WFM with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20100926 Firefox/4.0b7pre. Does this happen in a fresh profile? updated quicktime, flash and java? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/managing+profiles

Apologies for not commenting sooner, I haven't been able to reproduce this issue in the latest version of Firefox (7.0.1). Facebook changed their chat around since I originally reported, so it's safe to say this is not an issue anymore.
