Could it be related to this issue?

What we should do to see the problem on our machines?

Thanks for the reply.
However, after further investigation, I found it was only on certain pages that actually had some javascript recursion that was not obvious.  You can consider this closed as a non-issue.

Yeah right, I have the same issue and it has been crashing my system upon each update running the latest version of Firefox.
Crashing or freezing?
When it's about too much recursion, please follow issue 4938. As a workaround you can use the Firefox Error Console to detect your infinite recursions.

I'm also experiencing this hang. Makes the system completely unusable
as soon as I install and use Firebug. I created a simple page shown
below which clearly does not have recursion and Firebug hangs for 5 to
20 seconds at a time. How do you debug the debugger? Are there any
logs kept that I can go look at?

Thanks,

I can not reproduce that using FF 14.0.1 + FB 1.10.2 on Win7. The page is loaded in milliseconds.
Please create a new profile and try it again. What do you see?
