Do you have extensions installed?
Does the crash also happen when you start up in safe mode?

I didn't crash visiting that site. It did trigger a lot of disk activity and was pretty insistent about trying to open popup ads (which Firefox blocked).

Do you have an old copy of Flash? That is a common cause of crashes induced by advertising, and old versions are vulnerable to an active hacking attack going around lately. Go to 
  http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507

It should be 9.0.124 -- anything less is vulnerable. If you have a lower version use the "Downloads" link at the top of the page to find the flash player.

If it works in the safemode then it's caused by an extension.
The safemode is just Firefox without extensions/addons.
Please disable the addons one by one in the Addon-Manager.
