Nope. Just loading the page kills Firefox for me. There's some flash on that 
page. It's definitely the flash plugin because after removing the plugin I 
can load that page just fine.

A contributing factor may be privoxy, which I use. By itself, privoxy is 
benign, of course, and has no effect,aside from cleaning up all the clutter. 
One possibility, that occured to me, is the loaded flash code quietly 
calling back to the mothership, which privoxy blocks; and with no checking 
of the error path, flash is crashing.
