Firefox continually crashes on CNN.com. Firefox continually eats up memory and CPU until the computer (MacBook Pro OS 10.6.5) freezes, necessitating a force quit of Firefox. Safari does NOT have this problem. Please debug Firefox. THANKS!

There are some Flash object on the CNN.com page.

You can try to disable Out-Of-Process-Plugins to see if that helps.
