After a while the page goes blank and the task is shown as not responding. Most other sites seem ok. I have a machine which is still at 2.0.0.18 and that it fine. The site was ok yesterday too, which was pre-update. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load skynews website 2. wait for 10 seconds. 3. Kill task to continue.
Severity: normal → major
Version: unspecified → 2.0 Branch
After a lot of experimentation I noticed the RSS feeds were not happening. I disabled RSS, restarted Firefox, enabled RSS, restarted Firefox and everything seems ok now. I am using RSS Ticker 2.0.3. I will give it a few days before declaring this one fixed.
It seems like your ad-on was causing this crash. You can try with Safe Mode to confirm, but please report this to the extension developer.
