|
|
For the last week or so, anytime I go to the classified section my Firefox goes into an endless loop of loading and then crashes.
I can get to the classified section just fine. It's when I click on an ad or subsection that this happens.
Before, I just had to restart and then it was fine. Now it has done it three times in a row.
This only happens in the classified section.
Anyone else?
Win 7 and Firefox. |

When I click on an ad the page will never load, it just has a spinning icon on the tab. Now matter how long I wait.
Then if I close Firefox, it automatically sends an error report.
Edit: I just got on an ad after closing and restarting Firefox. It's weird that it only does it on the classified section. |

I am on Windows 7.
I normally use Chrome but I do have the Firefox Beta installed for testing.
I just used it to visit the Classifieds and do various things.
I didn't have any issues.
No one else has reported anything to me directly. _________________ How to Post Photos

I have the Samba pages that I frequent booked marked in Firefox (44.0.2). The first of these is the Type 3 parts classified. Whenever I click there, Firefox locks up for me for about 2 minutes. In fact, it doesn't matter which Samba bookmark I click on, if it's the first time I've clicked on a Samba bookmark in that session of using Firefox, it does that to me. It's only the first Samba click per session. It's been doing that for a couple of weeks. I'm running Windows 10. _________________

I tried what Notchback stated above and it's fine for me here.
No lock up, no issues.
I checked and my Firefox was version 45 on my first post above since I am on the "Beta" channel.
It updated when I opened it and now it's on version 46. _________________ How to Post Photos

Just loading the main page. Once I'm there the separate categories and individual ads load fine. _________________ 89 Syncro GL Westfalia 2.1 WBX/WBXaustSS

On mine, it's just the initial page on TheSamba for that session. I timed it today and it's about 95 seconds that it totally locks up Firefox. After waiting, it loads the page and then navigates just fine. _________________

I'm having the same trouble, I meant to email you earlier this week (decided to search and see if anyone else is having the same problem). On my older laptop with XP it locks up indefinitely, gives me an error message after I close it that says it was a problem with plugincontainer. On my newer laptop with windows 8 it will clear up after 5 minutes or so. It locks up with individual ads or the classifieds search page. _________________ still driving the holy snot out of buses |

This looks like some issue with Firefox and Flash.
This is out of my control _________________ How to Post Photos

Today I click on a forum bookmark instead of classifieds and it breezed through the forums just fine. As soon as I clicked on a link to the classifieds, it locked up. _________________

Mine is still doing it, but it doesn't happen on my MacBook. I guess it's on my end. |

So I found out something new about this.
If I am on the forums and then go to the classifieds, it locks up.
If I go straight to the classifieds from a bookmark, it does not lock up. |

Is it possible that since the search is powered by Google that it is causing problems with other browsers so that you'll use Google instead? The trouble only started since the last site update. Otherwise has anyone found a solution? _________________ still driving the holy snot out of buses |

To be clear:
The classifieds search is not powered by Google.
If you mean the little search box in the header, this is on every page so it wouldn't only be an issue in the Classifieds.
I just tried various clicking back and forth in my Firefox here and nothing happens for me.
I do see a pause the first time I load the site but this is on any page, not the classifieds.
I think it's loading everything up in Firefox at first.
After that everything is smooth.
I see an error was mentioned above that might have been some issue with Firefox and Flash.
I don't have Flash installed at all on my computer since I use Chrome and Chrome has eliminated it from usage so maybe that is an issue.
Maybe that is something to try? _________________ How to Post Photos

i don't see any of these issues, not in windows 7 with Chrome, Opera, not on windows 10 with chrome, opera, not on OpenSuse with Chrome, opera, nor on Mac OS X 10.11 with Safari, chrome. Best performance by a considerable margin: El Capitan with the new Opera Beta. All testing on seriously fast internet _________________ regards

Thanks for the comprehensive check.
But... Did you try Firefox? _________________ How to Post Photos

I've noticed that every time it locks up it's "waiting for cdn.viglink.com". _________________
