Hi Bart,
You can try this one which also uses Flash.

It's in Catalan but you can still test if the page freezes FF or if the
flashplayer works.
As you might expect, Adobe has a bunch of links to showcase its product. You
can go here:

and try the various sites in the interactive content section.
Cheers,
Jonathan
