Thank you lariamat for the bug report.

Could you please try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions on [1], or upload the crash report that probably was generated during the crash and that should be located at /var/crash/ to [2]. Also, Indicate which extensions/plugins do you have enabled, and please if this crash is reproducible describe the steps that lead to it since I've tried to reproduce it by loading the page you pointed with no succeed. This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

Thanks in advance

I installed the debugging packages and started with a new, clean profile (via firefox -ProfileManager).
Then i started firefox as shown below and I called the specified URL. as you can see it didn't produce a backtrace. Also there is no crach report for this in /var/crash/.
there is some 'X errors' in the message below. Does this mean this is a problem with the x-server?
What should i do next?

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadShmSeg (invalid shared segment parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 39 error_code 166 request_code 143 minor_code 2)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I found out that the issue with firefox was related to my dist-upgrade from edgy. This was was not clean. A fresh install of feisty and everything was fine. Sorry
