Hi, the issue is as following: I can load a video page on youtube and watch it without problems.

If, however, during any moment I click the "expand comments" arrow under any comment that has it, the page is COMPLETELY reloaded, like I pressed F5. After this it no longer reloads when I click any of the those arrows. If I go to another video, it happens again.

This happens only in Firefox and, as far as I know, only on youtube.
