Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

The page http://mormontruth.blogspot.com maxes out firefox's cpu usage
for... I dunno... a couple of minutes or something, after which firefox
crashes.

When I open the same page in Opera, the process operapluginwrapper uses
a lot of cpu time, but the browser doesn't seem to crash (although the
page didn't finish loading even after several minutes, so I can't say
for certain that it wouldn't have crashed if I'd left it half an hour
longer.

Because of the trouble I have had loading the page I haven't managed to
get a snapshot of the html code, but I don't imagine the basic format
will have changed – it's basically an extremely long diatribe with a lot
of embedded video.
