Any ideas why PBwiki 2.0 crashes when trying to edit in Firefox on Mac?
I am unable to edit pages in PBwiki 2.0 using Firefox on Mac Leopard. Every time I try it crashes the browser (I get beachballs and can't access any other tabs in FF either etc) and I have to force quit the application.
I'm having to edit in safari, which is a pain.

Inappropriate?They seem to have multiple issues with new releases causing problems on Mac platforms. Your best bet for getting this resolved is to contact support (using the 'help' link in the upper right corner of your wiki) and file a trouble ticket. That's their "primary" support queue. -
Inappropriate?Thanks for the advice. I'll try that in the morning (tis very late here :)) -
Inappropriate?Hmm. I'm a die-hard Mac user and I'm not having any trouble with my wikis. Tania, what version of FireFox are you using?

Inappropriate?For what it's worth, I am having no problems with my 2.0 wiki using Firefox 2.0.0.14 under Mac OS X 10.5.2. My 2ยข. -
Inappropriate?FF 2.0.2.14 on an Intel MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.2
Weird. FF isn't crashing on other sites. Maybe I have an extension in FF that clashes with something on the wiki.
I’m undecided
-
Inappropriate?That's very possible, extensions on Firefox sometimes don't like PBwiki very much.

Inappropriate?Ah. Well for the record then (in the event anyone else has the same problem and comes across this post) I currently have the following extensions installed in FF...
~ Web Developer 1.1.5
~ HTML Validator 0.8.4.1
~ Dom inspector 1.8.1.14
~ Talkback 2.0.0.11
~ English (Australian) Dictionary 2.1.1
~ British English Dictionary 1.19 (not sure why I have both of these since one would suffice)
~ Abode Contribute Toolbar 1.0 (which I'm going to turn off cos I don't use it)
Since I can disable them I'll try that later in the week (I'm at work now and my wiki is for a Uni project), and report back if doing so fixes my particular problem.
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Work was a bit quiet so I played with turning extensions on and off and found the problem.
PBwiki and HTML Validator 0.8.4.1 don't 'play well' together. With the HTML validator disabled it no longer crashes when I try edit PBwiki.
Since I only use the validator for work and don't need it for the wiki anyway it is fine. It means I have to disable the extension and restart my browser before editing, but I can live with that!
Thanks to everyone who helped!
I’m thankful
