Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

This link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/05/jon-stewart-eviscerates-c_n_172057.html

makes Firefox crash every time, I've tried it 5 times and it never fails to crash before the page get fully loaded. I'm going to try it again, but uninstall download helper to see if that has something to do with it.

http://www.septitech.com/ does not crash here with no extensions/addons installed just plugins. please check if a new profile helps and see if removeing all extensions help (you might to try firefox --safe-mode to test)

Same for http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/05/jon-stewart-eviscerates-c_n_172057.html

It looks like both links have alot of pics and friends that makes it load slowly.
Please check the things above.

Tested on Firefox 3.0 both links that John Vivirito posted and they work fine. I was using a clean profile and the Flash from flashplugin-nonfree.
