Firefox freezes or crashes when visiting:
http://www.egosoft.com/games/x3/info_en.php

Running firefox from terminal shows some error diagnostics, like:
(Gecko:9085): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to
pango_layout_set_text()

(Gecko:9085): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to
pango_layout_set_text()
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0874a438 ***

I've saved the page via wget, but reopening it locally doesn't crash browser (however pango complained about incorrect UTF string).

System - Ubuntu-5.10 (up to date)
Related packages:
firefox version 1.0.7-0ubuntu20
libpango1.0-0 version 1.10.1-0ubuntu1
libglib2.0-0 version 2.8.3-0ubuntu1

I think this but may be related the the JavaScript on the page. my browser
also crashed on this page. Try running it with the NoScript extension
installed, does that help?

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

I opened the page just fine. Did the page change or has the issue been fixed? Please provide further feedback.

[Freddy Martinez (freddymartinez9)]

It looks like this has been been fixed release. Anyone confirm?
