Bug Description

Something on this page causes firefox to crash.

Note: this page may change - it contains details for an event that happens on 26
January, and so they may remove this page or alter it after this date (tonight).
 I've mirrored the page at http://celebrate.kooranda.com, which replicates the
crash. Be kind to my bandwidth please...

The page contains both javascript and flash. My firefox has Shockwave plugin
7.0 r25.

The crash does NOT happen on the Win32 version of Firefox 1.0, nor on
Debian/testing Firefox 1.0 (with Shockwave plugin 6.0 r81)

Further notes:

- using standard Ubuntu Firefox 0.9.3, not sure if I manually downloaded the
flash plugin
- the mirrored site does not resemble the original site exactly, but near enough
to cause the crash

With no flash or shockwave plugins neither the original or the mirror kill
firefox in hoary.
Since we can't support proprietary plugins, resolving as worksforme.

Confirmed. I removed the symlinks for the flash player and the site no longer
crashes firefox
