I downloaded the site and it seems that on line 39 of winners.html,

<img src="winners_files/vertbar.gif" height="39000" width="4">

is causing firefox to crash. That is a lot of stretching! The actual file is 600 pixels wide and 6 pixels high. I'll send an email to the webmaster letting him know it is causing firefox to crash on a lot of machines.

Here are some steps to verify this is indeed the problem:
$wget --mirror http://splints.customer.netspace.net.au/ditmar800res/winners.html
$firefox splints.customer.netspace.net.au/ditmar800res/winners.html
#firefox crashes
$gvim splints.customer.netspace.net.au/ditmar800res/winners.html
#change line 39, height="39000", to: height="39"
$firefox splints.customer.netspace.net.au/ditmar800res/winners.html
#firefox handles the page fine
