Title: Firefox 3.5 and files.simutrans-germany.com
Post by: jamespetts on August 15, 2009, 03:59:32 PM
For some reason that I have not yet been able to fathom, Firefox 3.5, to which I have just upgraded, crashes when accessing http://files.simutrans-germany.com (http://files.simutrans-germany.com). It worked fine in Firefox 3.0, and in Internet Explorer, but the browser completely freezes when I try to load the site in Firefox 3.5. Is there some scripting error somewhere on the page that is causing the trouble, I wonder?

Firefox 3.5.2 works fine for me

high server load, perhaps

Hmm, odd - I am also using 3.5.2. High server load should not crash the browser, and it worked fine in IE. Do you use Linux or Windows?

Windows XP Pro

files.simutrans-germany.com does not use a javascript

the site consists of only php and css

maybe an addon you are using is causing the trouble - disable them and try again :)

I have the same addins as I had before the upgrade, and I had no trouble then.

maybe it's the combination of ff 3.5 + addons + files.s-g.com - please try to disable some of them if possible

Perhaps to narrow it down, can I ask Frank what addons that he has so that I know not to disable those?

In your FireFox menu (in Start -> Programs), should have an option to start in Safe Mode - try that first - easiest
