Not a liar, just.. forgetful. Anyway, yes, I can't get it to happen
again with flash disabled, since it only happens when playing a flash
movie. And now I've done some checking and it doesn't happen with
gnash, but it does happen in epiphany. So this (probably) is a
flashplugin-nonfree bug. Mea culpa.

youtube tab

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.12-1
Severity: normal
Steps to reproduce bug:
1) Start Iceweasel
2) Open a website, such as www.debian.org or google or what have you
3) Open a new tab, and go to youtube
4) Click on any video and play it
5) With video still playing, close youtube tab
6) HANG
Iceweasel remains running, CPU usage does not spike, but unable to
use any menus, click any links, or scroll. SIGTERM closes iceweasel,
and when it restarts it asks the "would you like to resume previous
session" question.
Attempted to get debug information but gdb throws "no debugging
symbols found" even with iceweasel-dbg installed - either this is a
separate bug, or I'm doing it wrong.
No plugins installed, this is a vanilla install of iceweasel. Same
problem happens even after wiping ~/.mozilla/firefox, so it's not a
profile thing.
You're obviously lying, since viewing videos on youtube requires a
plugin, one that typically creates the kind of problem you describe,
namely Adobe Flash Player.
Try really running without plugins, really, using the command:
MOZILLA_DISABLE_PLUGINS=1 iceweasel
as described in the information reportbug should have displayed you when
you filed the bug ;)
