When viewing an article that has a large number of comments, pressing the "Get XXX More Comments" button causes Firefox to hang, using almost 100% CPU, and it doesn't recover.

Example article:
http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/16/1622237

IE7 seems okay, but then the page content is different - no "Get XXX More Comments" button is used.

Using Firefox 2.0.0.14 (otherwise stable), P4 PC.

Is this Windows? I can't duplicate. How many comments on initial page load?
