I wasn't having these problems, before I upgraded, last night. Sure, disabling them MIGHT fix the problem, but DNN is the root cause, not Firefox. We need to figure out what's going on there, between DNN and FF, so the developers can issue a fix.

Anyway, I just started FF in safe mode, with everything disabled. The instant I logged in, it crashed. It does it on the DNN website, too. I'm having to use Chrome to type this.

Not good. 

Hi Christopher,

May I ask on what basis you say that DNN is the root cause?  Do you have some evidence that DNN is emitting somthing invalid?

You may be right, but it seems to me that you implemented a new version of FF and it's FF that's not working.  As you point out it works fine with other browsers.  It may be that we would want DNN to bend and become bug compatible with FF, but I'm not sure we should start there.

Best wishes,

While you do express some very valid points Richard, I'd like to offer my thoughts on it. To me, FF is the Primary or Parent of the issue, with DNN being the child, or subservient to the coding and issue. Certainly more people use Firefox then there are DNN websites, in which case, it would seem that a DNN fix would be the process in finding a fix.
I also work in Wordpress, Django and Ruby On Rails and only my DNN sites are having this issue, none of the other CSS are crashing with the new FF update.
Again, I am very happy and willing to work in Chrome until there is a fix, but I do miss my FF,.

I was running on DNN 5.6, last night. When I upgraded to 6, it started crashing. It only does it on my DNN sites and only on 6. It's a problem between something in FF and 6, that didn't exist in the previous versions of DNN. None of my 5.x versions exhibit this problem. I haven't upgraded firefox in weeks, long before I installed DNN. I'm not saying it's every computer, but it is a problem between something in Firefox and DNN, at least on some of our computers.

I wish I could present some evidence, a smoking gun, however, the evidence is process of elimination... It was working on 5, then stopped as soon as I installed DNN 6. DNN continues to fail, even in Firefox safe mode.

Whatever was changed in 6 is what is causing the incompatibility, at least for me. Whether it's Firefox or DNN causing the problem is a matter of semantics.

For those people that aren't having these issues, maybe you could help us figure out what's going on here? My crash report says it all... Look at the URL, it's a DNN URL.

I'll even include a video... Of course, it didn't crash until AFTER I logged in, and clicked on settings, unlike what I said, earlier, lol. Typical.

I pretty much have to second that Youtube video. In fact, when I posted this thread, i had to do it in another browser because FF crashed.
