I ususally don't use Windows (more a Mac and Linux guy), but I know that a lot of the testing done for BXE happened on Windows and if it would have crashed 2 out 3 tries, I'd certainly heared any feedback about that.


Yes, that makes sense.


I did have some crashes now and then with BXE, but not many enough to actually bother investigating further ;)

I'll ask my Windows guys, if they now more.

and I assume, you can't reproduce the crashes, right?


There's no specific set of conditions - but when Mozilla crashes it always
crashes at the same point in the code (line 109 in http.js). I suspect
either a problem in Mozilla or in my installation of Mozilla - maybe even
some other software is causing a problem for Mozilla.


And as an Endnote: We recomend using Mozilla 1.6 or Firefox 0.8 (1.4 resp. 0.7 are also supported), since they are much faster than their predecessor. At least the loading of BXe takes now almost half the time as before..


I'm currently on Mozilla 1.6.


Here I'm using BXE on WinXP Pro. Used it with Mozilla 1.4,

1.5, 1.6 and

Firbird 0.6, 0.7 and Firefox 0.8. It never crashed my win.

If things are

bad configured then BXE hangs on loading for sure. But it

never crashed

windows itself.


It doesn't crash Windows itself, but Mozilla starts using 100% CPU and I
have to kill it.

Aaah, it doesn't crash? It is "just" using 100% CPU? That's a whole other issue then (for me at least ;) ). Somewhere must be a endless loop that causes that. Will have a look at line 109 in http.js ;)

Thanks,
