Please post the output of "emerge -pvt mozilla-firefox" and "emerge --info", so we can see what versions, use flags etc. you use.
Do you use noscript or some other mechanism that disables javascript? |

I suggest you try to open weather.com with Java/Javascript disabled. If it doesn't crash, we know approximately where the issue lies.
Java and Javascript can cause faulty behaviour in browsers. Weather.com makes heavy use of javascript... |

| Sadly, I have no idea how to fix this. Javascript is notorious for its bad behaviour. Firefox offers Noscript, a nice plugin that allows you to quickly enable/disable Javascript on the fly: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 -- Noscript can also control Java, Flash, some sorts of automatic redirects, XSS, iframes, etc, so it's a very handy little tool. |

My firefox 3.01 does the same(although it declares "segmentation fault" in the terminal.
Opening weather.com in konquoror yields a javascript error
| Code: | | Error: http://www.weather.com/: TypeError: Undefined value |
and also announces
| Code: | | This page was prevented from opening a new window via javascript |
So it would probably pay to file a bug as to firefox's error handling and contact the site asking that they review their javascript. |
