Could javascript be causing my browser crashs?

The problem started with Firefox. Got to www.foxnews.com and click on
any of the scrolling headlines in the right hand box. Firefox would
crash. Now Opera and IE do also. If I disable javascript in Firefox
the headlines do not show. Same behavior on my laptop, which is
configured in a similar fashion. What could be causing any browser on
my system (xp sp2) to crash every time I use javascript?
thanks

Hi "bugman",
this is most likely not caused by JavaScript. The reason why that is
unlikely is that the three browsers have entirely separate JavaScript
engines, they work differently. I can not imagine any problem with your
machine that would cause all the three different JS engines to crash in a
similar fashion.

My guess would be that one of your plugins has become corrupted, for
example the Flash plugin. Since all browsers on your computer often use
the same installed plugin software a corrupted plugin could crash all of
them. Try disabling plugins from the [F12] menu in Opera and see if it
helps. If that makes a difference, try re-installing your Flash plugin.

Since it is (99.99% likely) not a JS issue it's off-topic here. Don't
reply in the group but good luck with trying to solve it :-)
