Possibly metacafe is using some type of script not supported on that version of Firefox. I strongly recommend you to use the new version of Firefox i.e.,3.0.4 not only for this issue, but in general sense of overall features and security.

Try restarting the download or download using browser itself.

^^Firefox doesn't crash either. And Chrome is still in beta and expected to be in beta stage for 2-3 years(like gmail, orkut)
