Now, opening only the front page of a javascript site like overstock.com will cause a 'xserver failed' crash. If anyone can expand and add their own experiences, that would be great. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380869">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380869</a> -Michael James P.

The Bummer is that the LAMP database I wrote for our staff uses quite a bit of JavaScript, so I can't turn it off for everyone.

File a bugzilla report. Since it is repeatable on your chipset and it is a very common chipset, let the firefox devs know. </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Thank you James & Jim for your help in whittling this down.

So the browser is crashing the display manager during a nasty load in of javascript. Test #2309384 :) Open firefox, disable javascript and try it again. If it doesn't crash, it's a javascript bug in firefox. Let them know the version and link for the crash. Note: many site have lousy javascript that cause many problems. The real bug is on their end. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">_______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.k12os.org"><http://www.k12os.org></a> </pre> <pre wrap=""> <hr size="4" width="90%"> _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.k12os.org"><http://www.k12os.org></a></pre> </blockquote> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This message, and any attachments that may accompany it, contain information that is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, or otherwise exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
