Hello,
A user reported that each time he tries to print a webpage from firefox,
his browser freezes on the "printing document foo...preparing..." window
(the thing that comes up after the print dialogue). The document prints
correctly, but he has to restart firefox in order to resume browsing.
This problem happens with any webpage he visits. I've had this happen
twice since the firefox version bump. Laura Baldwin noted that this
sometimes happens the first time she runs firefox in a given login
session, but not on subsequent times. Jon Reed encountered the problem
once today, and provided a gdb backtrace:

The two pages that triggered the bug in my browser were both rather
javascript-y (here is an example: http://www.viewit.ca/vwExpandView.aspx?ViT=3927),
but I couldn't replicate the error with the same page.
Thanks,
Erica
