The problem is with Flash 10. It is beta and is only available for Linux. You will get the same problem with any other distro and any other browser, unless you disable Flash like you did in your Opera. Of course, you can also disable Flash in Firefox or Konqueror. I think Konqueror or Opera has the facility to disable or customize the website individually. Example, you can disable Flash in http://www.lakerda.co.il/ but allows it for other websites. Some other websites may not have this problem if they don't load multiple flash ads in them.
This might be helpful to you.
