CNN crashes my Linux/Firefox browser

[Rick Tomaschuk]

Well now I've installed Macromedia flash player and I have the same
problem with Firefox 1.5.0.2 as with 1.0. I use macromedia to look at
theweathernetwork.ca. If I disable java anad javascript the problem goes
away. This is new as of the last week since I've had flawless
performance with Firefox 1.0 till now. I still need java to access other
sites...
