I don't have a specific example, but I've had a shockwave or Java page 
crash Firefox a few times. And the quicktime plugin with Crossover 
Office crashes constantly.

The real question is can a page be made to crash a _clean_ install of 
firefox with Javascript disabled (otherwise and infinite loop can easily 
freeze the browser).

The _clean install_ criteria with _no exta_ extentions is an important 
criteria for such a ( hypothetical :D ) web page.
