Details

A page was built for an XKCD comic: http://blackspherestudios.com/storage/xkcd_huge_static.html If you load this page, Firefox hangs immediately and eventually you have to kill it. Chrome loads the page fine. This is on Firefox 15.
Works fine or me on Mac... Almost certainly a graphics-layer issue, then.

Michael, can you break in to it with a debugger or otherwise get a stack trace?
Unfortunately I don't have a debugger on Windows. And when this happened it basically brought my entire machine down to a crawl for a couple minutes. I'll see if I can do more debugging.
Oh, sorry, I didn't pay attention to the page you mentioned. This is because we're decoding all the images and running out of memory/swapping.

Ah, so it may have been amount of RAM, not Mac vs Windows...
