TiddlyWikis freezing Firefox

[dickon]

I use various TW's from various sites (MPTW's on Tiddlyspot, TiddlyWeb
on Peermore, and the main TiddlyWiki.com site, etc) and all of a
sudden one desktop PC (Windows Vista, Firefox) has started freezing up
as soon as a TW starts to load - page appears to be taking much longer
than usual to load, then to freeze, then the Firefox window decelares
(Not Responding) on the top of the title bar - and the display within
the window fades. This happens with multiple different TW's, online,
and locally-stored, but only if I am openng it in Firefox, whereas IE
seems to handle them fine. Similarly, Firefox on my laptop (Windows
XP, Firefox) works just fine.

So I am assuming that some setting has got changed in Firefox, but I
cannot for the life of me thik what it could be. Any suggestions?

Hi Dickon,

I experienced the symptoms you describe with Firefox 3.5, therefore I
reverted back to FF2.

However, it could also be caused by any new FF extension you recently
added.

I will try rolling back to an earlier version when I get home.
thanks.

You could try starting Firefox in Safe Mode first - that worked for me
and made me suspect that the problem was one of my Add-ons (I've been
slowly adding them back in, but I haven't yet pinpointed the one that
caused the trouble).

I have worked out that it is the Skype Plug-in (3.3.0.3971) for
Firefox (3.5.3) that seems to cause the freezing. Has anyone else
noticed this? I have no idea what to do about this now in terms of
fixing the problem, but if I disable this one plug-in within my
Firefox, then TW's work fine again.

Yes, I found the same thing. It was the Skype extension causing the
problem and it's now gone away.

Good to see that I'm not alone, and that there's a fix (disable the
Skype plug-in), but is there a process for fixing the bug at source?
Certainly something miles beyond my competence!
