something java is utterly killing FF on forum homepage

currently forums.anandtech.com freezes when trying to load. IE loads fine and bottom says jvm applet started.

works fine for me. Try clearing your cache?

i suspect it has something to do with one of the ads. this is the code from the bottom of the page on instances where it calls a java applet.

(wouldn't let me put code into "Attach Code" function so i did the screenshot.

*edit* er..."Preview" didn't show the code but when i submitted message the code was attached. anyhow, you have both. anyone?

I found FireFox slightly quirky and went back to the to "plain vanilla Mozilla" I had before, but there really are some UGLY flashing effects trying to pop up in the wrong places sometimes. Whatever that crap is, it's been worse today than usual!

Getting java warnings on every anandtech forum page. Wants different version.

Stuck in java hell, I am.

I'm gonna say it has something to do with this guy right here (from the code above) "/RealMedia/ads/adstream_jx.ads/"
