Firefox sluggish and unresponsive with otherinbox tab left open
Firefox becomes unresponsive and sluggish if I leave otherinbox open in a tab. I can hear my computer "revving" up to try to handle the load. If becomes difficult to navigate between tabs or within other tabs. After I close the otherinbox tab Firefox and my system returns to normal.
*EDIT - I stated Firefox, but in truth I have tried it with the new Google Chrome browser with the same results.

Inappropriate?No one else has reported this, but we'll definitely see if we can reproduce it.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?I started to see a similar experience with multiple pages of IE Open(Latest Version/ (Approx 3-5 Web Pages Open). Noticed it Friday and Saturday Both
-
Inappropriate?I'm having this issue, it's detailed in another thread. I'm actually not having the issue with Google Chrome though.

Inappropriate?@Justin, I just tried again with google chrome and you're right it's not nearly as bad as firefox though I do notice a bit. I think I notice because I have one of those energy efficient processing that various it's speed according to it's workload and the fan varies with it as well. So the harder my computer works the louder it gets and with firefox and otherinbox it gets quite loud.
@Joshua, I would suggest testing on an older single core pc... it's my work computer that I notice it most on which is an older p4. Where at home the problem is greatly reduce, but I am running a quad core.
I’m indifferent

Inappropriate?I haven't left FireFox open long enough for it to get sluggish, but I get a script error pop up on me.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?I've seen the same behavior. It happens All instances of firefox become slow to the point of being unusable if OIB is open in a tab.
-
Inappropriate?I have the same problem. Sometimes it runs fine for awhile before slowing down and making firefox unresponsive and sometimes it happens right away. I don't know if it is certain emails that cause the problems or if it is a java problem that I am having.
It makes OIB very hard to use.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?I have had this same problem, but only while I'm using Firefox on my Windows Vista. Oib causes no issues when left open in my Firefox when I'm on Ubuntu.
-
Inappropriate?I just got a new computer with windows vista and had never been so disapointed with firefox. Glad to know I'm not the only one :( do userscripts not get along well with vista? is this a compatability issue between firefox and windows vista? odd...
I’m inquiring

Matthew, no I don't think so. As you heard, it also happens with Googles Chrome and also it happens with Windows 7 here (although 7 bases on Vista...), so I don't think it is this specific thing! -
Inappropriate?We will be upgrading the software that generates our web interface soon that should address several of these issues related to Firefox. I appreciate your patience and please continue to let us know what issues arise.
-
Still a problem, which improvements did you make about it yet? -
Inappropriate?Oh boy, same problem (still!) for me!
No error / javascript window opening though.
I do have a brand new Windows 7 installation on a desktop PC with good, modern hardware and not many Add-Ons in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2, still it drags my FF down enormously!
Although this is somewhat Mozillas fault *hmpf*, please try to not "open the leak" from your side!
I’m hopeful.

Philipp,
If you'd like to take a "sneak preview" of our UI using the upgraded software referenced above, try logging in to http://gamma.otherinbox.com. This is not a complete build by any means, but feel free to give it a try. We're working hard to get it out there as soon as possible. -
Inappropriate?I have the same problem. Plus, after a while it doesn't even refresh itself properly. I'll manually refresh and there'll be new emails.
I’m frustrated
