wfm with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; de-DE; rv:1.8b2)
Gecko/20050609 and FF1.0.4

Please retest with a nightly developer build or the deerpark Alpha, be sure that
Talkback (quality feedback Agent) is enabled during the installation.
Now run Firefox in the Firefox safemode (to be sure that no extension is causing
this crash) and if you still crash submit the Talkback report from this crash.
after that run c:\..\Firefox\components\talkback.exe to get the crash ID and
post this crash ID in this bug.

WFM trunk/Linux as well.

The page has several Shockwave Flash embeds. Do you have a Flash plugin
installed? If so, it may be causing the crash.

That site [a very popular norwegian news site] has always worked for me and
works for all the computers & platforms on which i know Firefox is deployed
[Win2k, xp, red hat, OS X] for both the 1.0.x branch and the nightlies.

This is in-line with comment 1-4 --> invalid.

Please test with a clean test profile/no extensions.
