User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; WOW64; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 Build ID: 20130116073211 Steps to reproduce: I load the following page http://zenwerx.com/projects/pi-digits/pi/ then I do a search for a number (like a phone number) on that page using Find: at the bottom of the window. Then I backspace until the Find: text block is empty and the cursor is blinking. Then I type a single number and Firefox freezes. The number does not show up and the cursor stops blinking. I have to kill the application using Windows Task Manager. You may have to do a few searches before it happens. This is on Firefox 17 and 18.0.1. It also happens in safe mode. Actual results: Firefox freezes. The cursor stops blinking. I have to kill the application using Windows Task Manager. Expected results: Should have searched the page as it normally does, shown number typed and had cursor flashing after number typed.
Same here, Firefox is not responding during the 2nd search.

WFM over here with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 ID:20130116073211 and Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20130123 Firefox/21.0 ID:20130123052720 Does it happen with Flash explicitly turned off?
I tried again with FF21, it worked fine. Weird.

It's fixed in FF19+ indeed: m-c bad=2012-10-12 good=2012-10-13 http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=1301a72b1c39&tochange=90857937b601
