icanhascheezburger vs. Firefox

Over the last few weeks I've often found icanhascheezburger locks
up my browser (Firefox 3 on MacOS 10.4, with several script and
ad blockers). This used to be just with videos but now it seems
some image pages do it too. I have to force-quit Firefox to get
it working again.

Anybody else had that?

Is it a result of their site being hacked a while back?

I haven't had any problem at all, and I use Firefox.

Yes, I've decided to avoid ICHC in future.

Almost certainly.

I'm running Firefox 3.0.13 on Ubuntu 8.04 without issue so far.

If those videos and images are using Flash, are you up to date
on Adobe patches? There were some patches pushed out a few months
ago that might have an effect on your setup.

They've released 3.5.2 for all platforms at Mozilla. Maybe that
will help?

I run Firefox 3.0.3 under Ubuntu 8.08, Firefox 3.0.13 under OS X Leopard,
and Google Browser under Android with no problems. I believe I'd be lost
without my ICHC!

I've been running the 3.5 series on Windows for quite awhile. The only
issue I see is that many activities (like loading a page in the background)
can cause FF to get really slow and unresponsive. The worst one is if I
start a download, and Windows' "wonderful" file chooser dialog stalls for
tens of seconds, stopping everything from responding. It's some kind of
network timeout, and has been a problem in Windows as long as I can recall.

Doubtful, but they were hacked again yesterday.
That's at least 5 times that I know of. It's really sad.

I haven't visited icanhascheezburger for a while. I run Windows Vista (it's
not the big scary monster everyone thinks it is). But I was prompted to
install a Firefox upgrade. I figured I've never had any problems with it so
I said OK. After I did, it just went nuts! I'd open one session and
suddenly I had four or five of them. And they all locked up. I couldn't
even do the standard 'close' on them. I had to reboot the PC to get rid of
them. I tested it a couple of times, same behaviour. So I did a system
restore back to the day before I'd installed the Mozilla upgrade and
everything worked fine. And when prompted to upgrade again I said NO. So
far no more problems with Firefox.

And you find this behavior acceptable? (Having to reinstall an OS
because an application misinstalls?)
I don't know about you, but in my opinion, that qualifies vista as
a monster.

Where does Jill say that she had to reinstall her OS? She merely
restored her computer back to before she upgraded Firefox.
