[MORE TESTING] VM1.1beta on J!1.5B2 crashes Firefox

[Jon Giles]

Hi all,

Thought i should report here first:

Trialing VM1.1beta (build 899) built into a complete package. Installed on J!1.5 Beta2 (SVN: 8381). Running on local test-bed: XP Pro SP2 with WAMP5 server 1.7.2. Browsing with Firefox 2.0.0.6.

When using the admin component in backend clicking on Back to Joomla! Administration takes you back to the main backend admin then promply crashes Firefox and forces an error report. There is a short pause of maybe 3-4 seconds before it does this. Tried in Safari 3.0.3 on windoze (I think this is still official in beta) and IE6 sp2. I haven't tested on IE7 as I don't use it presently!

If I can give any more info then please let me know.

Note:

Regards,
Jon.

Are you using the enhanced layout or the simple layout? If you switch to the simple layout, and then go back to Joomla, does it occur?

Greg,

Just tested that:

Yes, in enhanced layout the bug occurs, switching to simple then going to joomla control panel is ok. no crash. On same version (haven't downloaded latest svn build yet). I'll keep working in simple for the time being!!

Jon.

Please create a task in the bug tracker for this.

Thanks,

Joomla 1.5 RC1 and VM 1.1 r912, can not duplicate.

I started having this problem with VM 1.1 r916 and Joomla 1.5 RC2.

Description:
In VM extended view when trying to go back to Joomla administration FF crashes.

[aravot]

It could be related to IE7 error only FF instead of giving error message it crashes.

[aravot]

Seems to be fixed, I don't get any more crashes, FireFox 2.0.0.7

[aravot]

This is getting worse and worse.

Using FireFox 2.0.0.7 in both Joomla 1.0.13 but more in Joomla 1.5 when going back to Joomla Administration from VirtueMart browser crashes, this is in Extended Layout view.

I think I have found a potential solution to this problem. I too had noticed FF crashing when using the extended layout.
I also noticed that no code/css details could be displayed with the FireBug extension and VM1.1 beta2.

Disabling FireBug from the FF Tools menu (Tools | FireBug | Disable FireBug) has eliminated the crashing problem for me. Please check which extensions you have installed, if FireBug is in the list then disable it and try the extended layout again.

Hope this helps.

[gregdev]

Yes, I've noticed this relationship to FireBug too. I'd really like to know what exactly is offending FireBug.

[soulpad]

It's a shame isn't it?

FireBug has been extremely useful to me up until now, but it doesn't seem to like the VM beta at all.

[gregdev]

Last time I looked, it seemed like it was the yui javascript files that were problematic (but I may not be remembering correctly).

[unleash.it]

Yes me too. I've noticed this since I started working with the beta. Disabling firebug fixes it for me as well, but not a big enough issue for me to keep it off... Actually, my Firefox crashes pretty often in general and up till now I didn't know which of my many add-ons I might try to blame it on...

I'm joining this same bug with VM!NB:1119 & J!SVN:9904
