[Solved] Multiple browser crashes on ZDnet page

The following link causes my Firefox, Seamonkey & Midori browsers to crash without warning:

http://www.zdnet.co.uk/talkback/0,10000 … 22o,00.htm

However, Konqueror, Opera & Swiftweasel display it without problem.

openjdk6 has been replaced with jdk & jre to no avail. 

Starting Seamonkey in a terminal gave the following:

/usr/lib/seamonkey-1.1.12/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 27385 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Can anyone suggest a remedy.  Opening multiple tabs currently feels like waiting for a time bomb to go off.

EDIT: Turning off javascript in Firefox & Midori prevents the crash (although Swiftweasel, Konqueror & Opera display the page fine with javascript enabled).

Does flashblock prevent it too? Because it's displaying fine here (firefox spookyet 3.0.3)

Oh well, since rebooting, it appears to be working fine. 
I had installed the latest 64 bit flash plugin earlier - so that may have been the problem.
Apologies for wasting anyone's time.
