When viewing the webpage at the included URL, Firefox freezes after the page
loads. Task manager has to be called up to kill the firefox.exe process.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. bookmark any open pages so you don't lose them.
2. visit http://www.computerlife.be/modules/news/article.php?storyid=262
3. firefox freezes.
oddly, i tried this several times before submitting and it froze firefox each
time. i just tried again multiple times and it no longer freezes.
okay, if you keep hitting the refresh button, letting the page load each time,
it will eventually freeze. seems to happen about 1 out 7 times.
