Bigpond and Firefox

Why is it that if I try to logon to Bigpond to check how much I have downloaded this month, Firefox freezes on me?

I have found half a dozen sites over the last few months that do this, and I hear that it is a result of poorly coded pages.

I would have thought that Bigpond would have been able to afford some half decent script kiddies to put their site together.

Unless those nasty Indians toiling away in downtown Sweatgalore think Firefox was invented in Pakistan...
