1. Retried with a clean profile and Firebug 1.8a2: worked. 2. Retried with old profile with only 'development window' open and Firebug 1.8a2: worked. 3. Retired with old profile with both 'development window' and 'web surfing window' open and Firebug 1.8a2: crashed. 4. Went into safe mode and looked through websites in 'web surfing window'. Closed out 482 tabs that I read but forgot to close. I've been using 'browser.sessionstore.max_concurrent_tabs' set to '0' to only load the active tab in each window. 5. Retired with old profile with both 'development window' and cleaned up 'web surfing window' (with only 88 current tabs I keep open for Folding@Home status/Steam/GOG.com/New Egg/PHP.net/Reddit/Beta News/ etc.) open and Firebug 1.8a2: worked. I don't know why Firefox 4 w/ Firebug 1.7.1 (along with the Firefox 4 Betas w/ Firebug 1.7betas) and Firefox 5 Beta w/o Firebug 1.8a2 didn't crash opening but not loading a window with 570 tabs and why Firefox 5 Beta w/ Firebug 1.8a2 did crash under those same conditions. I realize that I'm an edge case as far as tab usage and hoarding goes. I did submit a bug per your recommendation and here is the number: <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658830";>Bug 658830 </a>. All said it wasn't a bad thing that it happened as I did finally close out a bunch of old tabs. Thank you for recommending that I try a clean profile. You were right that it was a problem on my end. --kwerboom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
