Browser hangs when accessing site

When loading the contents of http://www.memoryexpress.net/ all of the recent
builds of Mozilla for Win and Linux i386 platforms lock up. I'm not sure what
element causes Mozilla to freeze, but I've tried accessing the site with Java
and Javascript enabled and disabled.
After doing some more study, I found out that the ff. lines within the
<head></head> entities(?) was causing the hang:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function openWindow(url, name) {
popupWin = window.open(url, name, "width=500,height=325");
}
function MailListAdd(){
MailVar=document.AForm.MailSub.value;
AXobject = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
file = AXobject.GetFile("\\webpage\\MailList.txt");
MailList = file.OpenAsTextStream(8, 0);
MailList.Write(MailVar + "\n");
MailList.Close();
}
//
</script>
It looks like a script of some kind (am no expert), but 2 things bother me: 1) I
had disabled Javascript from the preferences section; and, 2) Mozilla should not
have locked up like that (no response from keyboard, mouse, etc. on 2 platforms)
even with a malformed document.
P.S. My apologies if certain characters in my message (ie. greater than, etc.)

Thanks for the followup comment! The issue is that the <!-- starts an HTML
comment that is never terminated, sending the HTML parser into an infinite loop.
Since this is a parser problem, disabling Javascript does not help...
There is an earlier report of the same problem that all the parser people are
cced on; marking this a duplicate. Thanks for using Mozilla and reporting bugs!
