over the last 3 days i have had two sites that will lock mozilla AND my win2k
system. i cannot get the system to respond or get task manager up to close
mozilla and my only option is to hit the reset button on my system. when i
reboot and re-open mozilla my bookmarks.html has been reset to a blank default
(size 262 bytes i think). the two sites that caused issues are:

http://www.overclockers.com/articles938/

and 

http://www.forbes.com/business/2004/01/20/cz_sl_0120faxes.html

overclockers sites locked the browser pretty quickly and the forbes site seemed
to sometimes take a few minutes of browsing to various pages off the link above
to send comments to the author but it happened four times in a row.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open link
2.wait
3.whole system locks and only a hard reset will get you out of it

Actual Results:  
bookmarks.html was still there but it was set to default resulting a loss of all
my bookmarks

Expected Results:  
not locked - not crashed - not lost bookmarks
