Bug Description

When surfing to a certain webpage http://www.jolipa.be
Firefox closes itself, even when multiple tabs are open. I tried surfing to the http://www.jolipa.be/index.html with the same results.
I surfed to the same webpage with de Windows version of firefox (on XP) and it acted normal, showing me the index page, but I saw I was instantly redirected from index.html to index3.html.
My guess is ubuntu firefox can't handle redirecting that good.
When knowing the origin of the problem I surfed (with ubutu firefox) to index3.html, firefox did not close.
Please try following the same link.

worked fine here.

trying running firefox from the command line, and then check out the page, post the error here if you can.

I was testing my hibernation on the system, this must have been coincidentaly related to this error, since firefox now worked in all cases, via panel link and via command line

I guess this report may be closed.
