Does Firefox lock up on the forums for anyone else?

by Demolishun · in General Discussion · 06/09/2006 (10:13 am) · 9 replies

I use Firefox and Linux and some of the forum pages lock it up so it runs extremely slow. I can watch my CPU usage go to 100%. It only started doing this after GG changed to the new format for their site. It is really annoying and I cannot tell if it is a banner thing or something else. Has anyone else using Firefox run into this? I am running version 1.5.0.4. It almost makes some pages on the forums unusable.

This page does this to me:

Turning off javascript fixes it for this page. Maybe a tight loop in the javascript?

    The site seems to work fine in the Windows version of Firefox 1.5.0.4 (for me at least). Even the linked page above comes in ok for me. Can't say about other versions of FF or on Linux.

    @Frank: Sometimes it happens with me too. It happens very often, most of times when i ask to open the page in a new window.

    Too bad I can't fix it by turning off javascript. We need it to use the menus at the top of the screen.

    Gustavo,
    It happens when I open a page in a new tab. So basically a new screen.
