Firefox crash - Just me?

Ever since yesterday, firefox locks up for me immediately after loading the FlyerTalk banner (even if FlyerTalk is loading in another tab).

Everything works fine on IE.

This is under Vista, and it's a new computer, so I could absolutely just have installation issues. I'm just wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

Post Vista doesn't like Firefox users!

Or at least that's been the sentiment of friends who use Vista...

Yeah, I wondered about that, but everything had worked fine for 2 weeks.

Update: I just blocked m1.2mdn.net and ad.doubleclick.net and FlyerTalk works fine again, so it's something in the ad.

If you're not using FlashBlock (add-on) with Ff, I'd highly recommend it. You can still open any Flash that you want by clicking on the "f" where the Flash element would be. I regularly have a couple hundred tabs open in around ten browser windows. Without FlashBlock on, one tenth of that would crash. It may not have helped with the recent problem (unless it was flash ads causing the crash) but it's been a great help to me. There's also an ad bock add-on, but only the Flash ads give me any real problems.

I've had no problems with using Ff with Vista H.P. (Dell Inspiron E1705 w/Intel 2.0GHz Core2 Duo and 2GB of RAM). IE7, Outlook 2003, and MSN have been my problems that don't play well with Vista - strange since they're all Microsoft products.
