Firefox freezing

Since I installed PMOG Firefox has frequently frozen, pushing CPU usage up to 100% and memory usage to around 600,000k. It looks to be when there is a pop-up window on a site (happened on Amazon when viewing a larger image of a book cover).
Any ideas? I'd rather not uninstall PMOG.

I’m irritated

Hi there,

I am trying to track down another crash error and maybe these are related. Are you using a Mac? And if so, do you have Google Notifier installed?

Hi Joe

Nope, on a Windows machine running XP 64. No Google notifier. It's definately something to do with pop-ups - happened several times since. My only recourse is to use Task Manager to close FF then restart. A couple of times the pop-up is still opening and causing the hang! In that case I use CCleaner and it's OK again.

I’m sad

A few more quick questions:

Are you using the newest PMOG and Firefox Version?
Any other extensions installed?

I will file a bug report with our developers for you, once we have a few more particulars hammered out.

OK, uninstalled all add-ons except Whitechapel toolbar and the problem has not repeated itself. I'll try reinstalling them gradually and see which one breaks it again.

Same here. PMOG has an issue with one of the following extensions (didn't test which one, but it stopped eating CPU after I disabled them):

aardvark
iMacros
reframeIt

I'd suspect reframeIt or iMacros.
