This website is horrible big.
It crashed my firefox 3.0.14 and firefox-3.5 too, after hanging there for AGES (and I have a glass-fibre connection to the web)
Ive reloaded and reloaded the page and after 3 turns, it finally came up.
It's in my humble opinion not the fault of firefox (nor ubuntu), but of the script which packs more then 260 pictures on ONE SINGLE PAGE

de gustibus non est disputandum = you can't argue about taste but this page is IMHO not worth loading <xeg>

I agree, that page is insane.
But I think this is a bug, I tried again now in Windows, with a less powerful machine (same Firefox version) and it worked first time!
So maybe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than Firefox?

I just loaded it right up with Jaunty 32 bit and Firefox 3.0.14 and Flash version: Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32

Maybe you need to upgrade Flash. What does about:plugins say for Flash version?

Can you help with this problem?
