CNN crashes my Linux/Firefox browser

[Rick Tomaschuk]

I'm using Firefox 1.0 pre release. Haven't had problems till today.
Looks like its blocking a popup and attempting to access
ads.pointroll.com for something the the mouse stays as a pointer over
any link and the browser functions all freeze up. I then have to restart
the browser. I'll try to upgrade to latest version of Firefox...I guess.
