[RESOLVED] Amazon PS3 page crashes

Hello,
My Firefox 3.6 crashes when I open and then try to close this tab:
http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-3-160 ... 532&sr=8-1
First it freezes up and then often crashes (sometimes it manages to close the tab if I wait for a long time).

Disable NoScript and it works fine (maybe a bit slow, but definitely no crash).

NoScript 2.0.2.3

Thanks

It's working fine for me.
What scripts on that page have you got allowed/forbidden?
Does it happen also on a clean profile with just NoScript installed? If it doesn't, could you try Standard Diagnostic to rule out an extensions conflict?

At any rate, could you show me your latest about:crashes entries (the top links)?

Hello,
Thanks for your fast reply.

OK here's what I did:

Clean Profile with NoScript installed only: NO crashes / freezes

amazon.com and images-amazon.com enabled, cloudfront and doubleclick disabled

I was disabling my extensions and plugins until ONLY NoScript was left. It's still freezing whenever I open/close that tab. If I disable NoScript then it doesn't freeze, but still pretty slow (not like in my clean profile).

Then I realized that this is related to the fact that I was logged in both to Amazon and Amazon Associates. I log off = no crashes, even with all plugins and extensions enabled. So basically:

Logged off Amazon: no crashes with or without NoScript
Logged in on Amazon: crash with NoScript, no crash without NoScript

Then I deleted all Amazon cookies, logged in again and it seems to be working fine now :lol: (maybe just a bit slow). So I'm sorry for taking your time, I guess it isn't a NoScript problem. Some weird ass thing to do with Amazon cookies! :o
