This was in my other thread, but elevating it to its own topic.
I put my site live yesterday and now I notice that it crashes firefox as soon as it opens http://www.beanrunnercafe.com. I know it worked in Firefox during testing, although hadn’t checked it there in last week or so and have made some changes since the last time I tested it. My brother checked it on his windows machine and got the same crash.
Site has WebYep elements and is built on box model

Went through Firefox’s troubleshooting steps including following crash report to the Mozilla site and then trying to search for similar signature crash reports. It doesn’t find any but is trying to search for: imgFrame::Optimize
That’s as far as I get as well. Was thinking it might be WebYep, but I recently did another site with WebYep elements and that seems to open fine. Hope someone might have some ideas as Firefox is pushing everyone to v4.
Thomas – used WY3.0. Had uploaded just before Max sent out the 3.1 update. Unfortunately I had been previewing during construction using FF3.6.
Have posted the issue on Mozilla forums and had my host check to see if they could see anything odd (they couldn’t find anything). They also thought it was a FF issue most likely.
So have posted crash reports, etc, on the Mozilla sites, but no answers as of yet, just confirmation that most versions of FF 4.0 or greater crash on both mac and Windows platforms. Have tried all the FF safe mode type starts, new profile accounts, etc. to no avail. Only place I could get it not to crash was in a Virtual Box setup I have with windows 7 – although I have seen it crash on other PCs using Windows 7.
So someone at the bugzilla site showed a link to the favicon.ico I used. I removed the favicon from the pages and the site now appears to load just fine. Strange??

It’s possible that depending on how the favicon was referenced in the
code it might cause issues in some browsers according to this
article http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon. I’ve used method 1
on several occasions without issue. For what it’s worth.
Katie from SoftPress tech support suggested using this online site to make favicons and the one I made there seems to be working: http://www.favicon.cc/
Hi Jeffrey ,
When looking at the favicon in Safari I can see the server is returning an error (“Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)”); http://www.beanrunnercafe.com/Resources/favicon.ico
This suggests either the file is corrupt or that the server doesn’t know how to handle the .ico file format. If you are using an Apache server you can easily add the file format to your htaccess file; http://forum.powweb.com/archive/index.php/t-2018.html
