When I start Firefox and type 'rfc url encoding' in the search input field (not the Google Toolbar!) the application just freezes.

I am unable to duplicate this. If you want provide me with a url that is causing you a lock up.
Tried to reproduce, but it works now. So I cannot reproduce it anymore. Marking as resolved.
