You Can Call Me Al

Merry Christmas Peeps! :)

Since the fairly recent update to the "new" gmail I've been experiencing constant freezing in Firefox. Which would could only be cured by killing firefox and opening it again.

It seemed hard to get a definitive answer after searching around. New Gmail warns if you have the firebug extension running that there's known issues, but I disabled that and still it would crash with annoying regularity. After some playing I found the root of the problem (in my case) was the Firefox extension "HTML Validator". Now it's disabled Newer-Updated-Gmail-2.0 works fine (and rapid). Actually, firefox seems a whole lot more rapid in general. So I'll only be enabling "HTML Validator" when I really need it.

Such a relief to find a resolution to the crashing, should help my blood pressure and my tourettes-like outbursts which were happening frequently during the day :)
