Browser crash
-
Whenever I try to upload an image, my browser crashes. Specifically when the image thing loads when creating a new post.
This started happening recently. Also, the blog is now loading a bit harder. Is there something wrong with WordPress ? Undergoing changes or something ?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you using gears?
If so, read this:

Wait, that was the problem indeed. Looks like I have been using gears after all ><, thanks alot.
-
@leetgamer, did you activate “turbo” on your blog to speed things up? If so, that IS Google Gears.
Go to tools > addons in Firefox, find Google Gears and disable it.
-
Oh and after disabling it, you have to restart your browser for the change to take effect.
-
I’ve done that. Thanks for the info.
Since it’s v0.5, it’s a beta right ? So there is room for improvement.
-
I find nothing at Google to indicate that it is beta, but from the version number, I would think so too. Then again I’ve started full releases at Revision 0 before also.
Staff here is working with Google on a fix as I understand it.
-
As an interesting note, the current version of gears, 0.5.21.0, was released on 5/28/09, which is right about the time this mess cropped up.
-
But I’ve had it for a long time without me knowing I had it, and I don’t recall updating it before lol.

How frustrating. When uploading photos, firefox crashes. They say it’s due to google gears, but I go into Tools – addons, I see this:
Gears is installed on this computer, but is not enabled for use with WordPress.
To enable it click the button below.
So I’m not using gears, and it still crashes? Maybe try (yeck) explorer?

Disabling gears works – thanks sacredpath – but you have to go into firefox to do so, then restart firefox. Then it works.
