Diigo Toolbar delays each new Firefox window - 39 views

    Hi,


    Whenever the Diigo toolbar is enabled, I get a 5 second delay on _every_ new window Firefox opens. Initial loads, shift-clicked links, every popup window. This is quite a drag as my blog editor comes up in a new window.

    This happens whether the Diigo toolbar is displayed or hidden.

    I've always upgraded to the latest version -- this has been happening for about 4-6 months... anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix in the works?

    I don't have that many other extensions open: Adblock Plus, Fasterfox, Firebug, GMail Mgr, and Web Dev.


    Thanks,
    --DIZZLE

    Hi Maggie,

    My computer is a souped-up workstation -- 4GB Ram, Dual 3Ghz Xeon, 15K RPM SCSI etc. I don't usually have to wait for much (which makes this all the more frustrating) :)

    I've run several tests and have decidedly narrowed it down to the diigo toolbar. As long as it's enabled -- with all other extensions running, or NO other extensions running -- I get the 5 second new window (doesn't happen on tabs) delay every time.

    And by delay, I mean total freezup. The window paints, most times I see the contents of the page, but Firefox completely locks up during this time. Attempts to do anything in the window are met with the hourglass and the white "lockdown mode" bar under the app's title bar.

    It doesn't seem, at least by what I've been searching for, that other people are having this problem... so it may just be this machine & this configuration. And if Firefox weren't such a BEAR to completely wipe clean and rebuild, I'd have done that by now...

    Thankfully, the diggolet has proven a quite nimble and capable surrogate, so I guess it's not a huge deal.
