Has anybody experienced the Brews Bros board causing FireFox to lock up? IE?I'm seeing hard lockups with Firefox where I have to 3-finger and end the process to recover. Anybody else?

Nope, not me. I am using Firefox 3.0.8 and it works just fine.

Lots of firefox users here, yet this is the first I've heard of it. You might try disabling any suspect FF plug ins and slowly re-enabling them incrementally to see if it is one of them causing it.

No problems here either. Sitting on Firefox 3.0.8 too.

No problems with FF.

Opera works fine.

FF 3.08 Mac here and seems to be fine... I have had lockups though with Camino.

[BrewerGeorge]

Hmmm, on further review, it seems to be only happening at work. Both FF, so I'll have to troubleshoot further Monday.

[shaggaroo]

George, any more ideas? Camino still hangs and crashes on me and it seems to be when the page starts to get info from google-analytics...-Jeff

Hmmm... I wonder if something on your system or network is blocking Google Analytics. Perhaps it classifies it as spyware. This might cause the browser to hang while waiting for an element to load that's never going to actually load. If that sounds like a possibility, then the fix might be to either whitelist GA so that the request can complete, or block GA in the browser so that the request is never made in the first place.

Interesting... not being an IT kind of guy, I'll have to figure out how to selectively block GA to try that... though I think our network doesn't block GA??, because I can use Safari without problems

FF 2.0.0.5 here, no problems.
