Weird firefox problem with cnn.com

[Tom Horsley]

Just for curiosity, has anyone else seen this problem:

Recently, cnn.com stopped loading when I tried to get there. I
played with it a lot, and eventually found a 100% correlation
between the "Bookmarks" sidebar being open in the main firefox
window, and cnn.com not loading (it just says waiting on www.cnn.com
for a long time, then eventually says Done and the browser has a blank
screen :-).

If I close the sidebar and goto www.cnn.com, it works perfectly :-).

I've seen some peculiar bugs, but this is one of the strangest.

Whatever it is seems to be related to some recent change at cnn.com
because it never used to be a problem, and I haven't seen any
other web site with the problem.
