[Bug 221545] [NEW] The Independent crashes browser on banner mouseover

[mnelson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

While reading an article on The Independent (specifically,
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/in-search-of-the-god-
particle-805757.html), I noticed that passing my mouse over the banner
will immediately crash Firefox 3, closing the window and dumping me to
the desktop.
