The whole browser ceased loading the page and any tabbed windows were frozen as
well. I have flashblock installed and pop-ups disabled, but if I try to access
www.comics.com/comics/getfuzzy/index.html the browser seizes up, with the status
bar at the bottom showing that was/is trying to load something from
sp21.unitedvirtualities.com .

1. enable flashblock
2. go to www.comics.com/comics/getfuzzy/index.html
3. browser ceases to function.

Actual Results:  
I have to kill firefox through the task manager afterwards.

Expected Results:  
It should view the page as expected.

Page still fails to load with firefox 1.0.4 and flashblock, but loads with deer
park alpha 1 (june 6th 2005). I can't really say it's resolved...

Re-test without flashblock. If the issue is gone, then its an issue with the
extension.
