Bug#602106: Iceweasel with Firebug stuck after HTTP 302 header

Package: Iceweasel
Version: 3.5.15


Iceweasel locks up with "Loading ..." and the spinnging circle after
repeated accesses to the following URL. Chrome does not have this
problem. Disabling FIREBUG fixed the problem. Note that this URL is for
an invalid page, see HTTP headers below. Chrome and Iceweasel without
Firebug enabled detect this correctly, but with Firebug enabled it keeps
trying to load something. It will eventually complete (about 30
seconds), but during this time the entire site is locked out. Hitting
STOP stops the "Loading ..." spinner, but does not allow access to the
site until the timeout completes. Other sites are not affected.

Really strange behaviour:

1. Access /http://robisonoil.com/about_robison/our_history.html'. It may take
several tries before Iceweasel gets stuck with "Loading ..." spinner.

2. Open new tab. Try to access 'http://robisonoil.com'. New tab will be stuck
on "Loading ..." spinner. There is normally no problem accessing this page.
Problem only shows up after getting stuck on Step 1.

3. Open another new tab. Access 'http://www.robisonoil.com'. This works with
no problem, even while tabs from step 1 and 2 are still spinning. Note this
is exactly the same page as accessed in step 2.
