Bug Description

Whenever I click on the BBC bookmark that comes with Firefox and go to the website, my computer starts running or processing and I can't use my computer. All processes slow down or does not work. I have to shut down my computer by unplugging it. I'm using Ubuntu 7.10. Also, I use Firefox 2.0.0.14 and when I entered 2.0.0.14 an error appeared. I received a page telling me that "Firefox 2.0.0.14 does not exist in Ubuntu" so I selected "I don't know."

Do you have any extensions installed? Try to disable them in Tools ->
Addons menu.

I uninstalled gnash 0.8.1-0ubuntu3 and installed Adobe Flash Player. That solved the problem.
