After being prompted above, I tried to reproduce the problem. Meanwhile, I have
updated Firefox to "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11)
Gecko/20071201 Remi/2.0.0.11-1.fc6.remi Firefox/2.0.0.11", and it did not crash
upon displaying the page.

However: when I tried to report this fact here from the same Firefox session, it
crashed at the very moment when I clicked the "Save Changes" button.

So we are aiming at a moving target.

I tried to reproduce the problem with Fedora 8 (using Firefox 2.0.0.3 from the
FC7 distribution because I could not find a 2.0.0.5 RPM for FC8), but could not
find it crashing with this file. Not sure what that is worth with the recent
experience, though...

>From other experience with the i810 in FC6 (e.g., glxgears scattering scan lines
of the gears across the whole display, outside the window, when a resolution of
1600x1200 is used), my wild and uneducated guess is that there may be some
addressing limit in the i810 that was lifted with later chips, like the size of
an address register in the chip, or the GART window, the size of which
apparently is hard-wired, independent of display size.

(Is that image mentioned in comment #10 loaded as a texture...?)
