If the browser locks up every time you choose from the different 'like' options on Facebook (what you're seeing is not a crash per se), then there is something wrong with your installation or user account of TenFourFox. Note that re-installing the app alone does not change the user account, which stores your preferences, settings and add-ons.</p>
<p>If you really use TenFourFox version 4.0 (we are at version 45.13 a/k/a/ FPR 4), first please update to the latest version here:<br>
<a href="http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/">http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/</a></p>
<p>Go to Tools>Add-ons, disable all add-ons and re-start the browser. Then go to Preferences>Advanced>Network>Cached Web Content and click 'clear now'. Then try again on Facebook.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/440383902017-11-15T16:19:34Z2017-11-15T16:19:34ZFacebook "like" causes lockup <div><p>Sorry for confusing you. I do have the latest version installed. So<br>
the problem must be something else. I have not tried a clean install<br>
of the OS and rather not. Is there system extensions to try removing?<br>
(not browser extensions). The problem is real. :(</p></div>shelbyismtag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/440383902017-11-15T16:27:00Z2017-11-15T16:27:00ZFacebook "like" causes lockup <div><p>Also when you say it's not a crash (I understand) but it chokes the<br>
browser and gives the pinwheel and won't stop... it requires a command<br>

Just do the steps for TenFourFox I mendtioned in the final paragraph of my answer and report back, please.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/440383902017-11-15T17:32:59Z2017-11-15T17:33:00ZFacebook "like" causes lockup <div><p>Clearing the browser cache fixed it.</p>

Even right after a cache clear and restart.<br>
The "fix" you gave worked once, but no longer works.</p>
<p>Also, when I try to clear my cache, it only clears by 1 digit per<br>
click, so it basically takes 300 clicks to clear it completely!!<br>
what's up with that??</p>
<p>The build is a mess.</p></div>shelbyismtag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/440383902017-12-01T15:02:21Z2017-12-01T15:06:10ZFacebook "like" causes lockup <div><p>For clearing the cache: You need to click 'Empty' only once, then wait a while or just reload the pref pane after a while. The cache is clearing (slowly), only the pref pane doesn't update properly. This is a known bug.</p>
<p>For Facebook, please try the following:</p>
<p>Type<br>
about:config<br>
in the URL bar (where you usually type web addresses)</p>
<p>search for</p>
<p>javascript.options.ion<br>
javascript.options.baselinejit</p>
<p>and set both preferences to false by double-clicking on them, then restart the browser and try again on Facebook.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/440383902017-12-01T16:05:23Z2017-12-01T16:05:25ZFacebook "like" causes lockup <div><p>My experience is identical to that of Shelbyism.</p></div>Michaeltag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/440383902017-12-01T16:50:33Z2017-12-01T16:50:33ZFacebook "like" causes lockup <div><p>I did exactly as you said, plus cleared cache again and rebooted by<br>

From my own experience with Facebook I've had two or three ideas about what may be the cause of this problem, that's why I specifically asked about the cache and the javascript options. Since none of the solutions seem to work reliably I guess we need to gather more data. For now, I'm out of ideas.</p>
<p>Michael, you can try switching the javascript options to true again (otherwise the browser will be pretty slow on some websites), and see if Facebook still acts up.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/440383902017-12-01T18:18:39Z2017-12-01T18:18:39ZFacebook "like" causes lockup <div><p>Thanks for your attention, Chris.</p>
<p>I'm happy to work with you to find a solution.</p>

intermittent. Let's see how long your "fix" lasts (because it can't be<br>
duplicated)</p></div>shelbyismtag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/440383902017-12-02T14:15:14Z2017-12-02T14:22:19ZFacebook "like" causes lockup <div><p>I've 'liked' stuff excessively on Facebook the past day and was unable to reproduce the problem with my personal FB account.</p>
<p>I can, however, reproduce it on another account (@Cameron: our test account!). The overlay that pops up when hovering over "Like" is used to choose different kinds of Likes (such as a heart or an angry face); the browser tries to load the emoticons and locks up instantly and completely, necessitating a force quit.</p>
<p>Facebook continuously rolls out new features and doesn't do so for all accounts and countries at the same time. Therefore, the problem may spread to all other accounts over time, or it may just vanish, depending on who of us is on the newer version.</p>
<p>I'll try to look into this over the weekend, but as usual with Facebook the culprit may be hard or impossible to find. Sigh.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/440383902017-12-02T14:20:27Z2017-12-02T14:20:27ZFacebook "like" causes lockup <div><p>Screenshots</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/440383902017-12-02T15:10:28Z2017-12-18T18:56:01ZFacebook "like" causes lockup <div><p>Chris, I agree. I always suspected it was facebook constantly changing<br>
code, because of how it comes and goes. Some days it is so slow and<br>
clunky and pinwheels. Other days it works OK but never really good. MY<br>
tenfour hasn't worked reliably on FB for 6 months now.</p>
<p>TenFour works ok everywhere else.</p>
<p>Have a good weekend!</p>
