#16 Firefox crashed when open (multi tabs)

[Anonymous]

Firefox load very slow and crashed!!! when activated the option in firefox:

Tools - Options - Main - Startup - Show my windows and tabs from last time

so if you have two or more tabs when open firefox, this is very slow to load and next firefox crashed!!!

tested in Firefox 2.0.0.1 and Windows XP SP2, DirectX 9c December.

I had a similar problem in Firefox 1.5.0.9. I increased the timeout at the bottom of the extension's file: javascript.js to 8 seconds. On a Pentium 4 Mobile 1.6ghz, with 10 tabs open when I closed the browser, it could open now open all 10 on startup... only complaining once about a slow script in operation which Firefox could cancel or allow. I will test further later, seeing as now I can leave tabeffect enabled at least.

change:
window.addEventListener("load", function() {
window.setTimeout('TabEffect.init();', 0);
}, false);

to:
window.addEventListener("load", function() {
window.setTimeout('TabEffect.init();', 8000);
}, false);

Where 8000 = 8 seconds. This number is to allow 8 seconds before trying to hook the current selected tab. More or less depending on your browsing habits and machine cpu speed, network connection speed with latency etc... but this extension does not need immediate access to the Current Selected tab on startup.
