While loading http://www.n-tv.de Fx crashes. Even with the latest release in
safe-mode.

For this issue I opened a discussion here some time ago.

Seems to be a problem with flash. Important: the site doesn't always show
flash-ads, so most of the time the site works. Today there are some flash ads by
HP. So maybe when you get to the site another day, there will be no crash.

If I made some mistakes filling out this forms - sorry, it's my first entry
here. And yes I used the search but found nothing similar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just go to http://www.n-tv.de

Actual Results:  
Firefox 1.0.7 crashes even in safe-mode.

Expected Results:  
Load the page without a crash.

What's the meaning of WFM?

-> works for me in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/20070603 Minefield/3.0a6pre ID:2007060304 [cairo]

Since there are works for me comments also in comment #4 and #2 and no talkback ID was provided for this bug (comment #6), resolving as works for me
