Smitjel Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Anyone having problems using the "new" version of Gmail with Firefox? I'm running the latest Firefox on Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu linux and Gmail crashes Firefox on a daily basis on both platforms. I have to switch to the "old" version every time I log into Gmail! What's up with that? :pinch: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/603759-new-gmail-crashes-firefox/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 If I knew the solution, I would post it, wouldn't I? The article has a workaround to use the old version.

The article has a workaround to use the old version. using the old version isn't exactly a solution... but even the newsgroups don't have a solution to this, and it's been so long since they updated gmail. This is pretty stupid. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/603759-new-gmail-crashes-firefox/#findComment-589024534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitjel Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Do we even know if it's limited just to Firefox? Does it crash in other browsers?

I suspect Gmail's AJAX isn't as clean as it could be, and apparently Firefox has problems handling large AJAX applications, so it's probably a combination of the two factors causing the crashes.

Smitjel Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Problem solved! Finally! :woot: The HTML Validator plugin was the culprit...just disable it for the domain "mail.google.com" and no more problems. http://www.yurasko.net/wfy/2008/01/i-found...es-firefox.html Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/603759-new-gmail-crashes-firefox/#findComment-589208063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboo Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Also note for all: If you have firebug, that will affect it as well :).

All other features worked. I'll have to try this.

Smitjel Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 As a side note, I just noticed that I wasn't using the latest version of the HTML Validator plugin (0.8.4.3). I installed the latest version and I can't get Gmail to crash Firefox after unblocking mail.google.com. The bug in the plugin looks to be fixed.
