1.4.9 slows down and often freezes Firefox on Linux

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a website
2. Click a link

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect things to load normally, but instead my mouse cursor often freezes for 
10 seconds or more, the spinning loading indicator on the tab freezes, and the 
page does not load for up to 30 seconds in some cases.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm using 1.4.9 on Firefox 25 on Arch Linux.

Please provide any additional information below.

I disabled this extension only, and Firefox is back to normal. I downgraded the 
plugin to 1.4.8 and Firefox is back to normal.
