White screen of death (quick reply problem)?

I can reproduce this "hang" with one of my machines running XP SP3, and Firefox 3.0.6. Page stays white, at the bottom the status bar "Stopped"

 

On the XP Pro SP3 machine, with FF 3.0.6. Will try Post Quick Reply again

Hope this helps

Jeezz... Mine works fine now... running FF 3.05 on win XP... but I'm only running sp2 on both of my machines "not sp3"

 

I'm not sure why both my Ubuntu machine and my XP Pro SP3 machines are having the same problems with the White Screen.

I was running Ubuntu 8.10 with FF 3.0.5. The package update I applied today was for gnome, and brought FF to 3.0.6. The only difference is that instead of claiming "stopped" in the status bar, it claims "done" but still a white screen freeze

 

I think Windstrings would agree -- the problem is cured immediately by installing a BT Tech Stiffening Plate under your motherboard! :focus:

 

When I used the quick reply with firefox is says: "waiting for GreenHybrid.com...." at the bottom of the window.

 

LOL!.. Hello Cyclone... that reminds me.. I need to go find that thread!

 

:doh:

Oy, don't you start now ....

 

Could be what you embedded in your signature. Windows? Linux? FF or IE? Versions??

 

FF now has 3.06 out... the release notes vaguely indicate there could be a fix for this type of problem too.
Most of the webpage stuff is not in my league.

 

Now how does a thing like that get broken? Was it a bug? Presumably there is not a configuration option "Hang On Quick Reply" :_>

 

FF 3.0.6 was also having the hang, except the status bar displayed "done" instead of "stopped"

I was able to replicate the problem on an XP Pro SP3 machine running FF 3.0.5 and 3.0.6, and my Ubuntu machine running FF 3.0.5 and then FF 3.0.6

Galaxee suggested scripting exceptions, which I tried and worked. It's a bit of a drag to manually edit, so I downloaded NoScript from the Mozilla site. This works very well, but in default setting is too strict

 

You just never know

eg

"If <url=http://www.priuschat.com>/quickreply = true, then hang"

 

Seems all fixed now.

 

Mine was fixed right after I first mentioned it.. but I only have windows XP service pack 2 while Jay who still had issues was running sp3.

Hopefully its resolved now with sp3 also.

 

Ok, did a Post Quick Reply with my XP Pro SP3 machine running FireFox 3.0.6

 

It works fine now
