Hi Rex, sorry to hear that. Apparently the page uses a new Google Earth plugin (For Firefox). Google Earth is known for it's demands on hardware, particularly Graphics memory and possibly Main Memory.
Please let us know if you find out what is going on.

The page opens in Firefox browser and shows some simple graphic of the earth with some clickable spots (I think). Then I see a message from my firewall that Google Earth is going out to the internet and all goes weird. The page gets new grainy overlays and the machine essentially freezes. Something is downloading but no joy after several minutes. Just regaining control is a mess because my mouse movements take about 5 seconds to show on the monitor. Two tries with a reboot between and I gave up. Is it just a problem on my machine, or more common?
