Description of problem:

firefox-18.0-1.fc18.x86_64 randomly hangs

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

firefox-18.0-1.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:

happened multiple times - but I don't know what the trigger is [or how to get more info regarding the crash.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. F18 upgraded from F16 [via F17]
2. updated to firefox-18 via koji
3. Run firefox

Actual results:

Observe a hang after some time [could be an hour later..]. I have to do a force quit - and restart firefox at this point.

Expected results:

No hang.

Additional info:

For now downgraded back to firefox-17 to see if the issue persists.

I have the following addons [I didn't try disabling them to see if the hang persisits].
- Adblock Plus
- Flashblock
- FlashGot
- HTTPS-Everywhere
- Padma
- QuickProxy

I would have tried the 'reset' feature mentioned at the following url - but looks like this feature no longer exists in the current firefox.

This is most likely dup of 895197. Please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=895197#c14 for workaround.
