Yes, I have the sam experiences. But in my case all mozilla based
browsers (Mozilla, Firefox, Galeon) crash at sites like that. Browsing
over the internet with those browsers is almost impossible for me, they
crash at every site with (bad?) javascript or flash, and that are a lot
of sites. Now I use Opera again, which is very stable.
