Seems to be working ok here. Are you sure it's not the flash player? I don't have it installed so I can't if it's the cause. Can't reproduce either. Is this reproducible without any browser extensions? If so, please paste `emerge --info` output and make sure you can provide us with a usable backtrace. See http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml for more information. It seems that it was the flash plugin. I was using the ~x86 version of flash (10_beta20080702). After I disabled this the page loaded, and so I downgraded to the stable unmasked version. Ironically (and perhaps stupidly), I had originally upgraded in the hopes that it might help with some stability issues I'd had with Firefox generally relating to the flash plugin. I should add though, should Firefox be crashing because of a badly behaving plugin? I would think it should protect itself from problems like these. I don't think the site was rendering completely in Opera, but it definitely wasn't dumping me out of the browser.

Forwarding bug to maintainers for awareness, but don't be surprised,if this bug will be resolved as an upstream issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 230413 *** |
