Upon visiting the site and executing the "JScript", Firefox freezes (needing a
process restart to clear it up). I'm unable to narrow it down as to what line
results in the application freeze. Note: not a crash... Firefox just becomes
unresponsive

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the site
2. Note how you can't do anything
3. Ctrl+Alt+Del

Actual Results:  
Firefox "crashes" and Windows throws an error

Expected Results:  
View the page normally

I'm unable to narrow down what part of the JScript throws the error due to a
lack of time, sorry!
I suspect it's the "Smart highlighting" script that gets loaded (see the <body
onload=""> event attribute) that causes Firefox to crash.

Btw, can someone make a backup copy of the page incase the original goes down
(or gets fixed)

I get a slow scripts warning on the site, but no freeze.
Is this bug still reproducable? The website is down (404).
