Bug#712676: iceweasel freezes on some sciencedirect.com page

Package: iceweasel
Version: 21.0-1
Severity: important

Iceweasel takes lots of CPU time on

  http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378475412000274

and (this one being the main problem, I don't know whether it is
related) completely freezes (at least for several minutes) shortly
after following the PDF link: "PDF (555 K)" near the top-left.

The bug occurred several times, but I can no longer reproduce it now.
It could be related to some network problem because an "Opening..."
dialog box normally appears and it didn't when the problem occurred.
Or a race condition?

(Not sent with reportbug as it currently freezes.)
