CanonRumors locks up browser
(1/1)
gkreis:
Is anyone else seeing their browser lock up when viewing the Canon Rumors site? I can't do it with Firefox. It is 50/50 it will lock up and if I look at it long enough, it will for sure. Consequently, I read this site in Chrome and even there, about 5-10% of the time it crashes Chrome.
It appears to be related to scripts that are running on the site, particularly related to ads.
Jaszek:
Seemed fine to me on Firefox 3.6 and is fine with 4 beta. Maybe you have some greasemonkey scripts installed that lock the site up?
Stuart:
I've seen this elsewhere where badly built of maicious ads damage the browser. Keeping your machine patched and using AV is one of the few ways to protect yourself.

99% of Firefox issues are plugin/extension related. Usually javascript.
The code on this site is fine.
Mark Shemas:
Reinstall the addin, go to tools, add-ons and remove foxmarks. Then restart firefox, open add ons again and click get extensions, find foxmarks again and reinstall it.
