** Description changed:

  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?
+ page is viewable in Chrome.
