When I browsed to this website by clicking a link from trillian(messenger) this
website slowed my computer to a near halt and made mozilla stoped responding.

I'm pretty sure this website intends to have a malicious outcome, so I woulndt
see a problem with mozilla not loading this type of content. I may try to
further look at the cause, but as of now I only know that this website crashes
FireFox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.click the link
2. Watch your cpu power be sucked up

Actual Results:  
my computer slowed to a near halt

Expected Results:  
I would expect firefox to ignore the contentce of the page, due to the nature of
loading it.
