It works fine for me. I notice it's got a Flash banner, have you got the
Flash plug-in installed? I've had some stability issues with this in the
past. Try disabling this and see if the page is OK.

(Type about:plugins in Firefox's address bar to see if the plug-in is
installed. If it is you'll need to move flashplayer.xpt and
libflashplayer.so out of the plugins directory which may
be /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or ~/.mozilla/plugins).
