User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build ID: 20110615151330

Steps to reproduce:

I updated Firefox to 5.0 version, and browse to the page www.mathon.fr


Actual results:

Firefox freezes (Firefox not responding message) with THIS SITE ONLY, closing the tab takes a very very long time, everything works slowly. This didn't use to happen with previous version
URL: http://www.mathon.fr
Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

When in safe mode, it doesn't occur...
Then go ahead and create a fresh profile using the directions in comment 1
>When in safe mode, it doesn't occur...
In that case disable all addons in (alt key)/tools/addons/extensions , restart and try it again. Enable the addons one by one to find the extension that is causing the freeze
So I've disabled all addons, and re-activated them one by one, and... the problem hasn't occured anymore. All addons are now activated (same as before) and everything's working fine. A bit weird...
Thanks four your help.
