Sequence causes FireFox 29 to crash
Opened this issue · 7 comments
I'm experiencing severe crashes when Sequence initializes in FireFox 29 on Windows Vista/7/8. There are known issues with FireFox 29 due to JavaScript memory leaks, what could be causing this in Sequence?
Tested on Windows Vista and 8 using Firefox 29.0.1 and I didn't see any problems. Could you please provide the full Firefox version you are experiencing the issue in? Also, have you tried in a Private window to be certain the issue doesn't relate to a plugin? Does it happen on the demo themes?
I tested in Firefox 29.0.1, but saw that it also occurs in Firefox 28. It's related to a certain project, I've tested other projects with Sequence and they worked fine. I concluded that it has nothing to do with the Sequence plugin but rather with the heavy animations possibly.
When I disable the Sequence template part the rest of the site works fine. I use full background images in my slides and it seems it has something to do with that. I'll let you know when I figure it out.
Ok, keep me informed just in case it is something to do with Sequence that I could fix.
Are you using background-size for the background images? That is often very resource intensive.
Yeah I use background-size: cover.
I also noticed that Firefox renders it differently than Chrome, Safari and IE. I have a hunch it has something to do with that.
Assuming this relates to the theme rather than Sequence. Will close for now. Please let me know if you think Sequence can help with this problem in any way.
It was an issue with the size of the images, they were too heavy for Firefox to handle. The problem is solved and had nothing to do with Sequence in the end. Thanks for your help and my apologies for my late feedback.
No problem. Glad you got it working 👍
