firefox crashes when launching pop-up from pop-up

[Mick]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

On 2 sites, www.worldleathermen.com and www.gayromeo.com, if I call up a link from the page, it arrives ok, but if I call a link from a link on that page, firefox freezes and I have to force quit

Proposed Test case (needs confirmation):

Log in
Search Users
Type in username: brightonmick
call up profile
send message
watch screen freeze with message "firefox not responding - wait - force
quit". Waiting will do no good, you have to quit.

Hi,

can you please give us a concrete step by step instruction on how to reproduce this freeze?

Thanks,

OK
It's been happening with all sorts of sites that link several times within
themselves, but if you take this example with Gayromeo (you'll need to set
up an account):

Log in
Search Users
Type in username: brightonmick
call up profile
send message
watch screen freeze with message "firefox not responding - wait - force
quit". Waiting will do no good, you have to quit.

Regards
Mick

would be beneficial to get a pre-setup dummy account here - if thats the only way to reproduce at least.
