Opening image from cloudfront.net via Smashwords locks up Firefox & entire computer

[Ian Thomas Healy]

From Smashwords.com, clicking on a thumbnail image opens the full-size picture in a new tab, sourced from cloudfront.net. The picture partly loads, then freezes Firefox and the entire computer, requiring a hard reboot. This doesn't happen with any other website.

Ian,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Can this bug report now be closed or do you still see the problem that you reported?

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
