Hi all

I have annoying Firefox freeze with new versions of the browser.
I suspect TW to be responsible for that.

Is there a way to monitor Firefox activity ?

Problem won't happen with legacy 3.6.28 version ...

Thanks all

Julien

Hi Julien,
It would be nice to be a bit more precise.
FF 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ?

Is there the same behaviour if you load the vanilla TW at
tiddlywiki.com? If no, than it's probably not TW.

Something we can have a look at - tiddlyspot, tiddlyspace, dropbox

OS. win mac linux

Do you have new FF plugins installed, that are not present at 3.6.x

here I come with the details ...

I use FF12 on win7 sp1

Yes I managed to freeze the vanilla TW

You can find my typical modified TW here : https://server50.sugarsync.com/getfiles/cx93m22zh4fpt

I have already tried to remove almost all the plugins.

It might not be a total TW issue but it happens only when I have an TW
opened...

thanks for having a look.

Julien

I could open your TW FF12 ubuntu. -> no problem

You could try to remove all cookies for this file://...empty.html if
there are some. I did notice some problems with cookies from file TWs
that had the same name. Just a guess.

Is the freeze forever or take along time ?. If you had a time out message and you checked the box not to show again you don't get the chance to cancel long running (or looping scripts). It is better to extend the timeout that to stop it.

I do get the occasional not responding on big items but have dozens of plugins latest TiddlyWiki and FF12 - no problem !

I find the easiest solution is to just use that, in portable mode if you want to also keep the updated FF installed via the registry.

>use that, in portable mode
I already use 3.6.28 in portable version for maintenance matters
( update, sync and load from remote folders ... ) but still I have to
close FF12 to reoppen FF3 ... which is an hassle !
I am really looking forward to have these actions available in
FF12 ... I can do the effort, but my team does not

looking for "file:" from "remove individual cookies" don't seems to
have any cookies

take a long time

can't remember if I checked "do not show" in the past ...
timeout settings :
network.http.connection-retry-timeout;250
network.http.keep-alive.timeout;115
network.http.spdy.timeout;180

The javascript execution timeout is controlled by:
dom.max_script_run_time
which is specified in seconds.

Hope this helps...
