I copied the wrong URL into section "Steps to Reproduce". 
The URL in "URL" (http://www.beachhoppers.de/sommercamp/anmeldeformular.html) is
the correct one.

I figured out the _real_ reason for the crash: The javascript that is invoked by
the "submit" button wants to sent an email using a "mailto:" URL, and my Firefox
crashed each time when I clicked on a "mailto:" URL.
When I figured this out, I entered the address "about:config", and added a new
string "network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" with value "kmailservice" (see
http://de.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Firefox_-_mailto). Now, submitting this
online form and clicking on any "mailto:" URL works as expected.
Thus, the bug has nothing to do with this online form, but with "mailto:" URLs.
