Firebug and FireFox Crashing when Viewing Pages on my Site that Contain Google Ads

Update!! 02-27-2007 - I just got an e-mail from my team member Marcel who pointed me to this article: http://forums.asp.net/thread/1501276.aspx

If you still have issues browsing this site with Firefox, please let me know.

Over the past couple of weeks, I received a number of e-mails from people reporting that their FireFox browser crashed when browsing my site.
