Palemoon freezing and hanging on Facebook again
Hello,
this week Palemoon started freezing and hanging on Facebook again. I scroll down for 30-40 posts and then click on FB logo on the up left corner. Palemoon immediately freeze and then Not responding, sometimes shows Bad script table and I can terminate this script and Palemoon not crash. Thank you in advance.
Palemoon 27.4.0 32bit od Windows 7 PRO x64bit.

Re: Palemoon freezing and hanging on Facebook again
As a first step, try clearing browser cookies and history/cache. If that doesn't help, try Safe Mode. Do you use the Flash plug-in? If so, try disabling that too.

Re: Palemoon freezing and hanging on Facebook again
Yes, clear cache little helps, but Palemoon still freeze for 5-10 sec. after clicking on FB logo. So I must use refresh (F5) button, it works better.
Re: Palemoon freezing and hanging on Facebook again
Unable to reproduce any big hangs on Facebook, either when using refresh or when clicking the F logo. The page fully loads in about 1 second.

Moonchild: You must scroll down for a 10-20 or more posts, and then try click on F logo. My mouse cursor stuck on pointing and all browser freeze (on clear profile or clear PM Portable too) .
Re: Palemoon freezing and hanging on Facebook again
Like I said, I'm unable to reproduce -- I did read your initial post and followed the steps to reproduce.
I've called up a page and scrolled a good 50+ posts down just now, and clicking the F logo is not a problem, the page clears and the Facebook start page is called up in about a second.

Re: Palemoon freezing and hanging on Facebook again
Maybe FB do some changes, and not of all users have already this. When I arrived from work, I try FB on another laptop.
Re: Palemoon freezing and hanging on Facebook again
Hmm, so FB button freezing Firefox too. It only works in Chrome.
Re: Palemoon freezing and hanging on Facebook again
Ok here is the end script error table
And here debugger

Re: Palemoon freezing and hanging on Facebook again
I don't see anything wrong with that JS code. It's a simple regex operation?
No reason for anything to hang there, as far as I can tell. Does the debugger also actually show what is being fed into it? because it may be a bug in FB's scripting if it causes an infinite loop there, depending on the page you're visiting.

Re: Palemoon freezing and hanging on Facebook again
There is the tons of code. It slowly on Firefox too, but Firefox not go to Not responding browser and no show End script error table as Palemoon. Facebook must doing some changes and again ruins the browsers :-/ .
Btw. FB button not refresh site for me, it only refreshing all the posts, not all page. And this is maybe the main difference instead of classic refresh.

Re: Palemoon freezing and hanging on Facebook again
After updating to Pale Moon 27.4.0 (the day it was released) this problem started immediately for me as well. I held off reporting it for various reasons.SGvagon wrote:Moonchild: You must scroll down for a 10-20 or more posts, and then try click on F logo.

My behavior is similar to the original poster, except Facebook hangs the browser for ~10 seconds and then ALWAYS presents me with the Javascript time-out error, and Pale Moon recovers well after stopping the script (or even after continuing it).
This behavior isn't super easy to reproduce, but I've noticed it happen most after scrolling down for a good number of "pages" (where Facebook must load more content). Then I will click on the Facebook link in the top-left, or on my own profile link in the top-left, and this is when the JS script hangs. Sometimes it will also do it when checking a new notification from the top-right globe.
I went into the developer's panel and copied the line of JS that caused the issue, but it was two different lines, and I haven't felt the time to report it as mentioned earlier.
When I get home, I can try to get more details...

Re: Palemoon freezing and hanging on Facebook again
Unable to reproduce the problem on my end after following the steps to get the problem to render using Palemoon 27.4.0 32-bit on Windows 7.
Tested two times: Paged down at least 15 pages that would include at least 60 posts then clicked on the "F" logo and page rendered quickly and without any issues both times.
Did you try testing Pale Moon in safe-mode? ("Help" > "Restart with Add-ons Disabled...", press "Continue in Safe-mode" button --- exiting the browser will return to "regular" Pale Moon next time Pale Moon is started).

Try the 64-bit version of Pale Moon. On my PC, a few websites are handled quite better with it.SGvagon wrote:...Palemoon 27.4.0 32bit od Windows 7 PRO x64bit.

Re: Palemoon freezing and hanging on Facebook again
For example if I play once a video in Facebook, when I want to watch again the video won't play, just endless spinning and I have to refresh the page ( is not always but many times)SGvagon wrote:badnick : What other troubles?
