At some point, Firefox started having an issue where if I browse some more image-heavy sites a lot in one go (e.g. google maps, or facebook pages by annoying people who install every worthless app), it stops downloading images at some point. It looks like it's waiting on a connection, but it just doesn't handle anything. Then, when I close it and reopen it, it works fine. Does it use some kind of goofy connection pooling mechanism that has a bug that causes it to leak resources or something? I remember seeing this sometime in the 1.5 series, then they fixed it, then recently (currently on 2.0.0.11), it surfaced again. Is this happening to everyone, or am I just using some extension that makes this happen?
Extensions I am using:
- Flashblock
- Adblock
- Firebug (I know this isn't the cause)
- Greasemonkey
- IE Tab (I haven't used this in a long time, but it's enabled)
- Tab Mix Plus (hmm, maybe the culprit... will have to experiment)
Happy new year!
p.s. on every keystroke as I type this message, firebug reports a javascript error:
window.event has no properties
--> if (window.event.altKey) {
