Gmail crashes Firefox 2.0!

Yesterday I wrote about how I thought Firefox 2.0 was rubbish because it keeps crashing. Today I have noticed a trend that it seems to crash when Gmail is loading. I remember someone mentioning that Firefox 2.0 didn’t cope very well with large Ajax applications, unfortunately I can’t find where I read this .

This seems a bit odd since Google Services and Firefox normally play pretty nicely together, I hope this gets sorted out soon.

My colleague and Internet entrepreneur George Black is going to the Firefox 2.0 Celebration party in London tonight, maybe he can cause some controversy by telling people that its rubbish!

Een recente update van FF die er voor zorgt dat websites die veel van AJAX scripting gebruik maken -zoals Gmail- de browser voortdurend doen crashen was de druppel die de emmer deed overlopen. Met de post van Matt Mulleweg waarin hij vol lof spreekt over de snelheid van Internet Explorer 7 in gedachten besloot ik daarom terug te keren naar deze vertrouwde browser. [...]
