Hello maxi.
That link you provided delivers a 404 not found error to me.
In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in safe mode (don't forget to select Disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See this article for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and this one for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
By the way, I believe autosport.com has live timing for F1. See here:
Just a tip, not a solution, I know.
The correct U.R.L. is "http://www.formula1.com/live_timing/live_timing_popup.html" - registration is required. I have a similar problem, running Linux yoyo 2.6.32-23-generic-pae #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 09:26:55 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100628 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.6 IcedTea NPR Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea6 1.8 (6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1)) The pop-up window says "Transferring data from www.google-analytics.com" but there is no obvious progress; pressing "Esc" leads to the report: "Start: applet not initialized". Output from "top": "99% java", Firefox stalls until java is killed with HUP. Unresponsive script "Script: chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml:0".
Did you try the official Sun Java plugin?
In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll) present in Java 6 U10 and later.

Thank you very much, cor-el. It's been a bit of a battle, but it's now working and the times are now displayed.
There are some misleading instructions out there (not those from cor-el), so here's a brief summary of what I did after using Synaptic to remove the Iced Tea Java. (I tried to install the .rpm package using alien, but this failed with an error "error: incorrect format: unknown tag".)
$ sudo bash
- mkdir -p /usr/local/java/source/
- cd /usr/local/java/source/
- wget http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=40907

- cd /usr/local/java/

After restarting Firefox, the "Tools -> Add-ons" menu item shows the new Java installation, the U.R.L. "about:plugins" shows "Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_21 .. File: /usr/local/java/jre1.6.0_21/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so" and testing at "http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml" shows it in action.
