Anyone having problems using the "new" version of Gmail with Firefox? I'm running the latest Firefox on Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu linux and Gmail crashes Firefox on a daily basis on both platforms. I have to switch to the "old" version every time I log into Gmail! What's up with that? :pinch:

If I knew the solution, I would post it, wouldn't I? The article has a workaround to use the old version.

using the old version isn't exactly a solution...

but even the newsgroups don't have a solution to this, and it's been so long since they updated gmail. This is pretty stupid.

Do we even know if it's limited just to Firefox? Does it crash in other browsers?

I suspect Gmail's AJAX isn't as clean as it could be, and apparently Firefox has problems handling large AJAX applications, so it's probably a combination of the two factors causing the crashes.

Problem solved! Finally! :woot:

The HTML Validator plugin was the culprit...just disable it for the domain "mail.google.com" and no more problems.

The only issue I ran into with Gmail was going into my spam folder. All other features worked. I'll have to try this. Thanks :)

    • Sadly, yes. Unless MS brings back some kind of satiety to their QA departments, we will keep seeing generally released patches in a beta state with larger enterprise customers being forced to delay just to avoid issues...which is arguably worse for security than if they patches just came out a little later.
    • Here are some off the top of my head. After I made the list, I realized that several of them are more fairly "on the same level as Microsoft," not really worse so I reorganized it. This is all subjective, but I think anyone can give reasons why these companies are hated. Worse that Microsoft: Ticketmaster Flock John Deere Oracle Monsanto Nestle One the same level as Microsoft: Adobe Disney Wells Fargo EA Games Comcast
    • And now they are killing Instagram. You have the odd AI post usually but honestly my feed is quite nice. I have a feeling it's about to become crap

    • Anyone can now use your Instagram photos to generate AI images, here's how to opt out by Ivan Jenic Image: Pixabay Earlier this week, Meta launched Muse Image, a new AI image generation feature that lets users create original images, edit existing photos, and even generate custom ads directly within its apps. At first glance, there’s nothing that separates Muse Image from countless other AI image generators available across the board. However, there’s one Muse Image capability that quickly caused controversy. Namely, Muse Image lets users generate AI images using photos pulled from public Instagram accounts. As long as someone's profile is public, another user can tag that account and use their photos as part of an AI-generated creation. Only private accounts and users under 18 are automatically excluded. This feature caused significant backlash, as soon as the broader public learned about it. It’s unclear why Meta even decided to allow this, as if it hasn’t learned anything from Grok’s case from earlier this year, where users were abusing Elon Musk’s AI to generate explicit images of various X users, celebrities, and even underage children. If we can find at least one positive in this, Meta actually gave users a way to opt out of having their Instagram profiles exposed to Muse Image. So, if your Instagram profile is public, and you don’t want virtually everyone to use your photos with Muse Image, you’ll probably want to turn it off. Here’s how to do that: Open Instagram and go to your profile. Tap the three horizontal lines in the top right corner. Scroll down to Sharing and reuse. Find the toggle labeled "Allow people to use your content on Instagram with AI features on Meta." Switch it off for both posts and Reels. If you don’t see this option, make sure to update the Instagram app on your phone to the latest version. The very existence of this feature is a strange fit with Meta’s own recent efforts. The company has been vocal about making its platforms safer to use, especially for children. Having content from millions of users directly available for AI remixing certainly doesn’t fit that blueprint.
