Browsing to HTML5 Specification website causes Firefox to lock up
Was trying to learn how to program a game in HTML 5, and Google pointed me to: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-canvas-element
Everytime I go to the page, Firefox starts clocking, and then I have to kill it. Then when I restart I get the same behavior until Firefox realizes it keeps crashing and asks if I want to start a new session. Seems like this is "non-compliant" behavior :-)

Wow, that is one big web page - 955.44 KB! I only have a 2.2 GHz processor with 2GB of RAM, and that page takes a lot to load that page completely.
If JavaScript is turned off for that web page it loads fine in 3.6.12; click 0n NoScript to allow JavaScript and it locks up Firefox before it is half-way reloaded.
Seems to be related to the loading of the Click the location of the error to select it, then type your message here: message bar at the bottom of the browser pane. Firefox 3.6.12 loaded that bar immediately after I enabled JavaScript for that domain, whereas Chromium and Opera didn't load that "message bar" until the page was almost completely loaded. IE8 never loaded that "message bar". Other than slow page loading, Firefox 4.0b8pre had no problem with that page; loading of that "message bar" was delayed like in Opera and Chromium.
Also, Chromium, Opera, and Firefox 4.0b8pre showed the HTML5 "info" (don't know the official name for that display) boxes on the left side of the page - such as "Last call for comments" and implementation information notes, somewhat like a "post-it" for certain sections of that page.
At any rate, Firefox 3.6 is now almost 11 months old, and the HTML5 specs have changed a bit in that time. Chromium is a lot newer, as is 4.0b8pre, they have a lot better HTML5 support than earlier versions of either browser did. Plus, the HTML5 specs aren't complete, it is still in the "Working Draft" stages.
