Firefox does not freeze on this page if Flash is installed.

Freeze (cpu eating) is caused by:
embed element inside table
width attribute of embed is given in percents
type of embedded file is unsupported (no plugin installed for it)

Simplified code (raises cpu to 100% even if Flash plugin is installed):

Similar sites:

http://www.expensable.com/ (see bug 248270)

This only happens with the new plugin installer system (the yellow stripe on the
top). For example:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10.1
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041006 Firefox/0.10

Other versions do not freeze (but Default Plugin window popups for a moment then
disappears):
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040927
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041006 Firefox/0.9.1+

This bug is not Linux related, happens on Windows, too.
