Thread that crashes Firefox

[Cliff Rogers]

G'day.

I am subscribed to this thread but I can no longer read or post to it, well, I can read it bit by bit 'cos everytime I open it, before it finishes loading, FF crashes.

I have sent a report to Mozilla.

I am using Windows 7 64bit & Firefox 8.0.1

This is the offending thread.

Just tested it with IE, I can open it OK but... I can see now that FF locks up at the pic in Scribbly Gum's post #10.
In IE it just shows up as a red cross & it won't open.

Cliff, no probs here

Win XP Pro

FF 3.6.25

Can click on both the pic in post #9 and the pic in the quoted part in post #10, both show up as advertised.

Post #10 does take a while to get past! My page stalled for about 5 seconds till I could see the next posts. :shrug: Something about the quoted image? :hmm:

[snowyskiesau]

A bit slow to load but otherwise OK (Firefox 8, Ubuntu 10.10)

I have two problems with the post. All the photos show as tiny thumbnails and when i get to Scribbly Gums post , I get the message that the requested URl is too big for the server

[Master Splinter]

No problems here (FF 4.01, Win 7 64 bit, 8 gig RAM)

Yes I think that was my fault.
I tried to load my photo into my post but it stubbornly refused to do so and I can't edit it - don't know why.
Mods might have to delete that part of my post or the whole post if necessary.
Ssssoooorryyyy!
I still don't know what I did wrong.

G'day Fred,

Here is a screenshot showing the offending image which is showing as a white box with red cross

Thanks Acco, have been trying to open that post for editing and it won't even do that, so something is drastically out of whack here.
The small box with the red x doesn't show up on my screen at all.

May have to resort to deleting the post and ask SG to post it again, without the quote this time perhaps?

[Acco]

That would be my suggestion as well, I did check the url for it and it did cause a problem, so would delete and ask SG to post again :2tsup:

[Big Shed]

Deleted SG's post as I couldn't open it for editing and asked him to re-post, sent the original text to him in a PM.

Yep its the image that scribblygum added that does the problem. It works in firefox 2.0.0.20 as well. (If it ain't broke don't fix it I say). Its listed as 2,169828 characters long. I was going to list but its huge. If he deletes the lines above to the one below that should fix it for those having trouble. Ie will automatically fix html errors usually.

Am I the only one updated to FF 9.0.1?
Get with it, it's 2012.
Not that I think it would have helped, I never tried it while the problem was there.
Regards

Like fly said, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

My current Firefox does everything I need it to do, and what's more all the add-ons I use work with it.

Gave up on "upgrading" software for the sake of "upgrading" a long time ago.

Just ask people what they gained from "upgrading" to Vista, only one that gained from that "upgrade" was Mr Gates.

[Avery]

I'm using FF9.0.1 and I still had the problem with the oversized URl

[Big Shed]

Scribbly has now re-posted and his pic shows up OK for me, no undue delays noticed.

[Geoff Dean]

Cliff, you need to upgrade.........................................to a Mac. :D

[AlexS]

Cliff, you need to get a computer tech to look at your computer.:D

[Master Splinter]

Am I the only one updated to FF 9.0.1?


Yea. I'm not updating till my add ons work - in fact I need to backdate to 3.5. Add-ons are the main reason I use FF, so if it keeps breaking them, I'll stick where I am!!!

[Cliff Rogers]

Is good now, ta. :2tsup:

[Cliff Rogers]

Cliff, you need to upgrade.........................................to a Mac. :D
Next life, maybe. :rolleyes:

[Cliff Rogers]

Cliff, you need to get a computer tech to look at your computer.:D
I diiiid, I diiid, I diiid already. I'm a hardware tech, this is an operator problem. :D

[Cliff Rogers]

Yea. I'm not updating till my add ons work - ...
Me either. :2tsup:

[Shedhand]

I switched from FF to Google Chrome. Fast and no problems for me. Windows Vista (not by choice).

Working on iPad now too
