    Anybody see js errors at ThisAmericanLife.org?

    Hi guys and gals,

    Anybody listen to This American Life Podcasts? Well I removed my Rhythmbox db today to rebuild it. I wanted to add my podcast for This American Life back in, so I went to the site to get the podcast url.

    http://www.thisamericanlife.org/

    Lo and behold, Firefox locked up, lots of javascript warnings, then the whole machine locked up. Couldn't do anything but Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart gdm.

    Code:
    A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding.  You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script  will complete.
     
     Script: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/sites/default/files/js/js_51f64116071d173c1fa7657e9468895f.js:957

    I removed my .mozilla file and started FF up again. The website loaded fine. So, I installed my addons again, and after installing Personas, the same site went bonkers again.

    Uninstalled Personas but that site is still a javascript kludge. I have another machine here that loads it just fine in FF. Personas was never installed on that machine.

    Don't know if it is their crappy js code or my crappy FF browsers. Any TAL fans want to give it a shot. If it is their site I can post them some info about it.

    If it was installing Personas I can delete my .mozilla profile again. Just askin' .

    Cheers,
    brook

    Holy Crap! That site sucks a-double-ss, or maybe FF sucks! I tried it in Google Chrome and it opens just fine with no errors. Buenas noches amigos.
