Firefox locks up

[MrBill42]

Binary package hint: firefox

I haven't been able to correlate this to any particular usage pattern, but Firefox occasionally consumes in excess of 95% of the available CPU. I have to kill it with -9 and restart.

Unfortunately, it seems to happen randomly. I know that you need to be able to reproduce it in order to fix this.

I'll try to pay specific attention to the circumstances surrounding the next occurrence. If I can establish a pattern, I'll be sure to report that.

I there a way to provide additional input to the bug report?
