Firefox 2 crashes with multiple editor instances

[duncansimey]

The attached page has 30 editor instances. When viewed in IE7 it's fairly heavy on CPU and memory but is functional. When viewed in Firefox 2, it crashes the browser; the browser eventually disappears leaving the option to report to Microsoft.

We advise our customers to use less than 6 editor instances on a single form. However, there is no imposed limit and we know of instances where up to 60 editor instances have been used successfully on a single page. They were using IE6 which doesn't have the performance problems of IE7 and doesn't crash like Firefox 2.

Confirmed using FF2 and FCKeditor 2.6.2. It works fine with the SVN version - the editors are loading very slowly but the browser doesn't crush at all. No problem has occurred on IE and FF3 as well. As it works with latest SVN I guess it had to be fixed .
