User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5

Try loading the above website and open processes, my memory usage went over the top. I closed the firefox process when it got above 250mb, but i think it might have climbed even higher...

I think it has something to do with the adobe flash element..

Firefox also gets a hang-like behavior.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open website

I updated to

Shockwave Flash

    File name: NPSWF32.dll
    Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash 	Adobe Flash movie 	swf 	Yes

But same things keeps happening, it even seems to keep loading addvision.nl stuff when i already left the page.

Firefox 3.01 @ site www.miniclip.com on Windows Vista with shockwave flash reaches 400MB memory usage. Hang-like behaviour exists and CPU gets stuck at 100%. Also this causes Firefox to slow down the treminating procedure.
