Summary: Firefox 3 unusably slow, triggered by flash ads? Product: Wine Version: 1.1.6 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
If I go to news.com, pick any story (e.g. today's Google Mail for Mobile), and just sit there hitting reload, eventually the browser will slow to a crawl and become unusable. This also happens when just normally browsing around. I imagine it's caused by particular flash ads (a Microsoft one seemed to trigger the latest problem).
This is with Wine from Oct 18th. I use Firefox3 every day or two for a little dogfood testing, and today is the first time I noticed it, so it's likely to be a new ad rather than a new wine problem. But who knows.
