Does the following page crash? If yes, it's a Java problem.  If not, there's some Flash too...

Also, please paste a stack from talkback (regardless of whose problem it is) - see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback for how.  That of course will require a Mozilla.org/com build, so please use that.  We can't do much with Ubuntu builds...

Other things you can do: Try disabling extensions (in particular Adblock) before trying again; it might be interacting badly with plugins.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2 and the latest Java? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!
