I tried several times to open outdoorsfrontier.com, and each time Firefox 1.06
completely hung.  I had to close the windows and then kill firefox.exe with the
Windows XP Task Manager.

I was able to open this site with MSIE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Firefox
2. Type 'www.outdoorsfrontier.com' into the URL pane
3. Wait

Actual Results:  
All tabs in all Firefox windows were completely hung.  It was necessary to exit
the Firefox windows and then kill firefox.exe with the Windows XP Task Manager

Expected Results:  
The intended Web site should have opened in the appropriate tab.

WFM with Mozilla 1.7.11. The page loads also a Java applet.
