Thanks for the response. To be honest, I'd forgotten about this bug. It was so weird/specific to begin with (only one website ever caused problems). The issue also seems to have disappeared on upgrading to 14.10. 
It never occurred to me to upgrade the BIOS - the utilities are always Window-specific and I'd never gotten around to learning how to do it on Ubuntu despite the fact I haven't run Windows since Ubuntu 7.10...

Since the issue doesn't occur on 14.10 shall I mark it as resolved?

Title:
  Opening foodnetwork.ca website crashes xserver

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This doesn't occur every single time I try to open the website, but
  fairly consistently on the first instance after starting the computer.
  (After one xserver crash it usually works the second time.) I'm using
  the pipelight plugin to enable the Windows Flash player (since most
  websites will not stream shows these days using the older Linux
  plugin) but this crash occurs when opening the main page, before the
  flash plugin is called.

  What happens: I click on the icon for the foodnetwork.ca main page on
  the Firefox new tabs page, and X crashes immediately, sending me back
  to the login page.

  What should happen: the page should load, allowing me to click on the
  'videos' link, taking me to the page where I can select the program I
  want to watch.

  I have never encountered this problem on any other website, but run
  into it regularly on this site.
