Opening www.businessweek.com causes firefox to crash instantly

[crashflow]

Hi,

I am running firefox 3.5.5 on F12 with all updates installed (as of 5 Dec 2009).

Firefox never caused any trouble on my system, all pages open with complete funtionality including java and flash. This morning I tried to open www.businessweek.com which I access frequently from my work computer running windows vista and internet explorer. It caused firefox to freeze instantly. I had to kill the process manually since there was no reaction at all. The rest of the system was not affected.

This crash is reproducible.

Any ideas what might be the cause of the crash?

Regards,
crashflow

Doesn't reproduce on my system (F12, Gnome, updated until latest). I don't have flash installed, just a stock FF 3.5.5 with history disabled and no Add-ons.
