Firefox crashes when I load WOFF fonts in my CSS.

I'm developing a web site that uses WOFF fonts. Intermittently, FF4.0.1 crashes when I load a page containing WOFF fonts. I am not absolutely certain that WOFF fonts are the cause of this issue. But, I have tested extensively with and without WOFF fonts (trying to figure out what could possibly be causing this (and generally tearing my hair out)). I have never had a crash with WOFF fonts commented out.

Thanks!

Did you try to use another WOFF font to see if you still get crashes?

That particular font may not work on 9your) Mac.

Thanks for your suggestion. I did try regenerating the .woff file. I'll try swapping in a different font, and see if the problem persists. Do you know whether this is a known issue?

I would love to help reduce this bug. But, I don't know what else to try. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
