Binary package hint: firefox

Viewing the following page in Firefox always causes the entire system to
grind to a halt almost immediately (you have been warned!) - this makes
it very difficult to even kill firefox unless you are prepared as it
very rapidly becomes virtually impossible to open a terminal window etc.

(Suggest you have a "sleep 300; pkill -KILL firefox" already running in
a terminal window before following the link).

Memory leak? Whatever it is, it shouldn't be happening... firefox
shouldn't be bringing the whole system to its knees like that
(regardless of how badly that particular webpage may be designed)! The
page is viewable in Chrome. Is this a security vulnerability?
