Firefox hangs the computer with 99% CPU utilization after http://news.sohu.com is loaded.  I can view the website with less than 10% CPU in IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.browse to http://news.sohu.com
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
99% CPU, need to kill firefox.

Expected Results:  
just like view the website in IE
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a3pre) Gecko/20070219 Minefield/3.0a3pre
It uses 60% CPU here.
With the extension Adblock Plus it goes back to 4%.
Happens on Linux as well. Disabling Flash r64 doesn't help the cpu usage.
