Just let the site load with flash enabled and firefox crashes. Also see: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=5157467#5157467 where I was encouraged to file this bug report.

Confirming this here too; and not just on this site but many others. Occasionally a site that will crash firefox works when tried a second time, other times a site that generally works will crash firefox. It seems a bit random. On a possibly related note I occasionally get a weird rendering bug where parts of the screen are used as a sort of background tiles. For example on this page: http://www.ign.com/ the background consists of tiles taken from the top left of my *screen* (not just the firefox window...).
