Weirdest internet problem ever encountered
 

This problem is easily reproduceable and I have never seen anything like it.

Using Firefox 2.0.0.7 in Windows XP I go to maps.google.com or click on a google maps link, If I attempt to zoom in, search an address or ANYTHING at all regarding the map my entire internet connection dies completely, everything disconnects and I can't get back on until I repair my adapter.

Doesn't happen on any other sites, I use my computer for hours every day and maps.google.com is the only website that kills my internet connection, it's the only time my connection ever goes down (Cable).

Internet Explorer 7 does not cause this problem with google maps.

I was hoping for a "True dat!" response.

At any rate, this is not a problem most of us will be able to help with.

I recommend disabling ALL extensions in firefox and seeing if you can reproduce the problem. If yes, then submit bugs to both firefox & google maps. They will be your only help (search firefox forums too).

If it doesn't happen after disabling extensions, then re-enable them one-by-one and retest.

Good suggestion by Freakin. I've never heard of anything like that. Very odd. Another thing that would be worth trying would be to go to Tools > Clear Private Data in Firefox and clear everything out. Restart FF and try again.

(firefox sometimes has problems randomly with websites... probably an extension you have or something)
