Not crashing for me in 1.0.6 or 1.5b1. Did you send in any Talkback incidents?
If so put the talkback ID in the bug. If not, and no one can reproduce it we'll
have to close this.

The page apparently contains Flash content. Do you have flash installed? If so
what version? I didn't try with flash.

probably Incident ID: 9271087 which is not happy. jay: why isn't it happy?

I've send a talkbalk incident but didn't remember the ID, next time... sorry :-(

In the meantime, the webpage works fine also here. The page is update quite
often so probably the HTML (or whatever) code which causes the crash has been fixed.

From my point of view, this bug can be closed since it will probably be
impossible to reproduce it without the original web page.

Due to current diskspace limitations, we can not keep symbols for builds older
than about 10 days...so if you crash with an older nightly (that does not
becomes or already is a major release) Talkback won't have symbols available and
we'll get ugly stacks.  We are currently working on getting more more storage
for the symbols.  Sorry.

Please try reproducing with a more recent nightly and submit a new Talkback
report if you want to see better crash data.

I can't get this to crash either.  Is this still a problem with Firefox 1.5?
