910175 - Saxon-CE documentation and demonstrations hang Firefox

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[William Gallafent]

Launch the URI http://www.saxonica.com/ce/user-doc/1.1/index.html … the page begins to display, then Firefox hangs. True both on Windows and Mac OS. See also https://saxonica.plan.io/boards/1/topics/5762?r=5769

Comment 1

(Not appropriate to use Saxon-CE to run XSLT 2.0 in Firefox until Firefox can run Saxon-CE!)

Comment 2

[William Gallafent]

Note that, on Windows at least, this bug is a regression from Firefox 20, as per Michael Kay's comment at https://saxonica.plan.io/boards/1/topics/5762?r=5767#message-5767 .

This page doesn't hang in FF24+. Could you test with Firefox beta, please.

Works for me using Firefox 24 beta on Mac OS 10.7. There's a pause (where the blue whirly thing stops moving) during page load, but it recovers after about a second, continues to load the page and completes successfully.

Same as previous versions of Firefox.
