"I have a browser crashing issue. When I open certain sites like Gmail and Meebo, Firefox slows to a crawl and crashes"
Watching all this discussion go by for many months, it seems a key root is "the Gmail problem". Do I recall correctly that back around 1.2-1.3 that there were a lot of complaints about conflicts between FB and sites like Gmail, and a lot of the attention to activation schemes flowed from there? Likewise, as the above quote reflects a lot of the current concern would go away if there was not a need to be off/inactive/whatever for Gmail and maybe some fairly limited set of other sites. My question is how well "the Gmail problem" is understood and what prospects and barriers might exist to address it? That subject seems pretty obvious so I would assume it is a hard problem for some reason. Otherwise it would have been fixed long ago. But whatever is going on to cause it would seem to be a fundimentsl flaw. To be effective and solid FB should be able to work on all sites without needing to worry. It would seem Gmail is doing something legitimate that FB can not deal with effectively in the current design. Do the new tools in other browsers that have been mentioned have similar problems? If not, why? This issue seems significant enough to even justify getting support or changes in FF itself if that is where it has to come from. Just think how much more time the FB developers would have to do useful work if the problem and the endless discussion about it could go away ;-) Bob On Aug 18, 2009, at 3:46 AM, JoJo <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a browser crashing > issue.
