Anandtech Forums crash Mozilla 1.7.3 (or so I thought)

I saw you are using Microsoft Net.
The only other site that crashes Mozilla is MSN.
Am I a victim of one more Microsoft conspiracy?
I use Linux Debian.

regardless of this site, if mozilla is crashing, its a problem related to mozilla itself, tho I would include this site in your bug report to mozilla. .Net has nothing to do with mozilla crashing as its a server side technology in this implamentation. there could be a rouge javascript or tag that is buggering mozilla up but again that is somthing that the mozilla team needs to fix and most likely not a problem with fusetalk or anandtech.

Mozilla 1.7.5 is working great in AT for me,I suggest you upgrade your old Mozilla to the new version,btw make sure you uninstall the old version first.

Thank you for your answers!
I saw at bugzilla that noone has reported this bug.
Mem, I saw no 1.7.5 version in debian. I use the latest: 1.7.3.5.

Still crashing after an upgrade to Mozilla 1.7.5 and Java 5.0.

No crashing here never did. Although I'm using XP. Probably something on your end.

Hard to believe the problem is with Mozilla because so many of us are using it with no complaints.

I had no problem with Mozilla and Java when I was using Windows.
But Linux Debian + Mozilla + Java + Anandtech = 1 crash every 5 pages on average.

Why are so many of you using Mozilla instead of FireFox?

Interesting read, indeed!
Several people report the same problem, and talk about...extensions!
I checked Mozillazine forums, and read that the Adblock extension, if installed after Java, crashes some sites.
I uninstalled it manually, came back here, and...Mozilla crashed again.
I then read how to uninstall the flashblock extension, and noticed they said you had to start and close Mozilla twice for the uninstallation to be effective. Which I did immediately. Then came back here, and...that was the trick to effectively uninstall Adblock and solve my problem!
Thanks everyone!
