I also reproduced this with latest firebird (20030929) on 4 different computers
- Win2k server, Win2k pro and WinXP pro. 3 of them never had mozilla or firebird
installed.

Seems to be a dupe of Bug 218512 browser freezes

There are a lot of bugs relating to sites belonging to ECTnews.com
All of them have in common, that they are sometimes working, but will fail after
some Shift-reloads. Seems to be depending on an adserver.
