Hey there,
I am experiencing crashes on some of the new BBC pages, e.g. this one freezes my browser every time: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20151008-the-tragic-story-of-mt-everests-most-famous-dead-body?ocid=global_future_rss

Any ideas?
(TFF 38.3.0, Mac OS X 10.5, G4 (7450), 1GB RAM)

Cheers,
-f

   It doesn't crash for me, it just takes a very long time to load.

   Yes, it's glacial, but it doesn't crash. I'm not sure who owns the performance issue, but it isn't particularly sprightly on my 2014 i7 MBA either, so this is probably Mozilla.

   So I probably don't have enough RAM left for TFF, as it keeps crashing
   over here …
   But you're right, it's pretty bad on Intel Macs, too. Seems odd, as
   the BBC does not usually build badly performing pages.

   Quite possible it's RAM related. There's a number of very large images on it. Still, my 1.25GB iMac G4 was able to view it.

   These crashes have disappeared for me, too. Might have been webfont-related (typekit?) …
   The issue can be closed.

   Facebook has been seriously messed up with loading the page even after clearing history and cookies.
