Over the last number of days I noticed my Firefox (on Mac) was getting increasingly unstable. It was freezing completely after being open for random amounts of time (but generally not very long!).
I had recently installed a couple of new Firefox extensions so I was blaming them. However, uninstalling them made no difference.
Today I think I found the culprit. I had about 40 tabs open in Firefox (in three separate windows). I scanned through the tabs and closed all the tabs containing Silverlight content and since then, Firefox has been rock-solid.
Looks like there is still a ways to go with Silverlight and Firefox on the Mac.
Is it just me or does this sound rather suspicious? MS product crashes Firefox on a Mac? Hmmmmm…
I always have problems with FF crashing, but I don’t even have Silverlight installed! Although I love to blame Microsoft for all the world’s ills, I can’t this time 😉
Yep, but anyone remember the WINNT “bug” that resulted in netscape bluescreening windows? Sounds a wee bit familiar! 😀
Tom, I’ll pass this on to the dev team. Thanks for talking about this.
