Gmail + Firefox = crash?

Lincoln Russell 17 Dec, 2007 at 1:26pm ET Article published in Tech

I’ve repeatedly had problems with Gmail crashing Firefox during the last few days when I navigate away from it, both at home and at work (version 2.0.0.11). Anyone else seeing this?

17 Dec 2007 ~ 1:36pm Leonardo Just 10 minutes ago I navigated to Gmail in Firefox. No problem.
17 Dec 2007 ~ 1:39pm CB I use FF at home and work, and gmail is always open on one tab. Never crashed.

It's probably your 2900XT. OLOLOLOL
17 Dec 2007 ~ 1:47pm Linc The funny thing is, I can't replicate it on purpose. Of the 30+ times I've had it open it's only crashed like 4. Maybe it's connected to switching between accounts or having Firebug installed... too many variables
17 Dec 2007 ~ 2:07pm Linc I think I figured it out: it crashes if I open an e-mail and then navigate to another page with the e-mail still open. Fail

//edit: It's a bug in Firefox that is tripped by Firebug. Damn. It lists a workaround, but the setting it says to change is already set that way for me. Guess I just gotta deal with it crashing. Yippee.
