looks pretty much like bug 129586 and bug 265433

I'm having the same problem. The salon home page won't load. This is only a
problem with 1.5 beta1, as I didn't have the problem before I installed it, and
when I went back to 1.0.6, salon.com works again. This is a show blocker for me
as I'm a regular reader of salon.com, so I'm sticking with 1.0.6, but really
would like to be able to drag-n-drop my tabs :)

works for me in ff 1.4/mozilla 1.7.12 on windows xp. Do you have images/cookies
etc blocked? Do you have flash installed? Check about:plugins to see. Do you
have extensions installed? Which ones? 

Marking works for me for now. Please reopen if you can reproduce this still and
can answer the above questions.

Bob, I mentioned that I had the problem with Firefox 1.5 beta1. Did you try it
with that version?

Firefox 1.4 is actually Firefox 1.5b1 and yes I did try it.
