Can't help but the same thing happens here; Firefox 3.6.6 locks up and 
one of the i3 cores spins its wheels. I have seen this happen on other 
pages occasionally and have usually concluded that it was a rogue script 
problem.  However the site comes up in konqueror in GNOME and a look at 
the document source shows

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

which indicates standards compliance?  A little later it shows:

<script type="text/javascript">
     google.load("jquery", "1.4.2");
</script>

and further on it contains a check browser section covering IE6 to IE8, 
but the if clauses are greyed out (starting with <!).

No idea if any of this is relevant.  Maybe Firefox needs a plugin update 
of some kind.  Konqueror posts a number of complaints from kdecore about 
missing Qt plugins and misnamed plugins but seems to be able to skip 
over those and display the site OK.
