At my
~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
I find no relevant logs; it seems that Firefox does not log crashes in an Apple- recommended way.

In Finder, you might find a little relevant information at
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Crash Reports/
and/or
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Crash Reports/submitted/

Here, at the latter, I find nothing more recent than November 2008 and the reports comprise nothing more than a 'Crash ID'.

If you can share with us the crash IDs that relate to your crashes, maybe we (or you) can find the relevant information within Mozilla Bugzilla.

In the nine reports that I can see, your comments are useful - thanks!

> window changes shape

* Do the crashes occur before or after the window changes shape?

* Do the crashes occur when no suggestions are made?

* Do the beach balls or crashes occur soon after, or coincide with, the black/white spinning cursor?

- (I don't know whether that cursor is special to Firefox or to Diigo)

- AFAIR I once saw the black/white spinning cursor whilst the menu of tags was dropping down and/or populating, on that occasion I thought the page in the background had finished loading so I wonder whether the spinning cursor indicated download of tags (not suggested tags) from my tag cloud

- black and white spinning cursor not to be confused with the in-window spinning icon alongside suggested tags.

A series of five screen shots:

001

---

002

---

003

---

004

---

005


AFAICT, without knowing/understanding code:

* whilst the white canvas of the menu is drawing, whilst words are written to the canvas, whilst that canvas grows and shrinks according to the characters typed, with the possibility of a scroll bar and scroll arrows appearing and disappearing …

* any number of things may be happening behind the menu

* the window from which the menu is dropped may change shape

* a stretch of the window may cause its head and/or foot to slip beyond the bounds of a user's display

* a stretch in some circumstances might cause the window to automatically reposition so that its head is butted neatly against the main menu of Mac OS X

- Mac OS X is very tidy about such things

* and last but not least, the menu of tags is not opaque

- transparency allows changes in the background to be seen through the white of the menu.

If you'll pardon the pun: that seems like a fairly tall order!



I wonder, how often is Gecko/Mozilla/Firefox 'pushed' in this way?

I now:

a) have a gut feeling that it's a bug in Mozilla code

- one that may be difficult and/or very time consuming to reproduce/resolve

- one that may require input from two or three developer communities in addition to the bugged user

b) treat this topic as a point of reference, for when users next ask for more (and more and more) features to be added to dialogue boxes

- there's only so much that can/should be added, before things become tricky

- not forgetting users of netbooks and the like.

A most interesting bug!

I wonder, how will Diigo developers interpret it? …

Bill, please, did you find a solution or explanation?

I'm curious…

> Windows XP, all updates currents

Do you rely on Automatic Updates?

Do Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Software Update Services (SUS) apply?

Have you upgraded from Windows Update to Microsoft Update?

In Microsoft Update: have you sought optional updates?

Whist I can't answer the Furl part of the question, you may wish to associate your OpenID use of Diigo with any other use of Diigo.

Your route to this: https://secure.diigo.com/setting

The association routine was buggy for me at one time
http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/google-id-account-association-with-diigo-id-account-is-forbidden-7384 but AFAIR there were no further reports along those lines so you should be OK.

http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/anonymous-annotated-link-is-it-possible-43357 offers an answer and workaround to a similar question.

Probably way off-topic from Tim's line of enquiry but I just discovered Freenet.

Personally:

Diigolet 3.15b02 feels superior when (a) highlighting, and (b) sticking notes to highlights. These two uses of Diigo are probably my greatest.

Sidebar of Diigo Toolbar 3.1.6.13 for Firefox is superior for viewing annotations, but this alone doesn't drive me to use Firefox.

On Mac OS X, I do many things with Safari that are impossible with Firefox.

Thanks for the feedback.

I find it a little odd that any conversion to private was necessary, on the other hand I'm not in an ideal position to comment - I did the hop(s) from Furl to Diigo over two years ago. FWIW I find 1,446 private bookmarks in my own collection and I'm not that secretive so I assume that the vast majority of those were imported. Whether they were private from the outset, or whether I converted to private, I can't recall.

In any case: it's good to see things improved for you :)

AFAICT the cacheing services (for new bookmarks) were quietly suspended around the same time.

Considering that date, a month or so before the surprise announcement re: Furl; and considering the ~one month between the e-mail from The Furl Team and the reported closure of that service; I *guess* that:

* serious preparations - capability to accept all Furl users into an alternative service - began a good few weeks before any announcement

* the possibility of reprepresenting Furl caches was a significant factor in Diigo's decision to suspend Diigo cacheing services

At the Furl site: users were offered an e-mail address, so it's fair to assume that a massive amount of Furl-related discussion has occurred in private, via e-mail (not within this group forum). The sometimes wild variance from estimated schedules could be a result of all that behind-the-scenes stuff.

A last guess from me:

* whatever was transferred from Furl, at the users' request, should be intact, somewhere or other.

I'm glad that you like the look of Diigo :) and we're all staying tuned …

At furl.net: did you attempt an export, and was it successful?

http://www.furl.net/doc/uses people used Furl in various ways.

Please, can you be more specific?

Would you like help with an aspect of Diigo, or Diigolet, or the Diigo web site?

Subject: images in Diigo messages/fora

Paul Welsh wrote:

The short answer is that you can't upload images to a Diigo group forum, but you can use HTML to present an image from a service other than Diigo.

ImageShack

Here with Mac OS X 10.5.6, I use a third party Dashboard widget to upload to my ImageShack account:

http://reg.imageshack.us/content.php?page=widget

The widget offers a range of options, for this forum I tend to choose
HTML | Image
or
HTML | Thumb

Hint: the HTML produced by the widget includes a leading
-n
that should be trimmed. A minor issue, negligible. Some day I'll report it to the developer (could be an issue with my system).

There are alternatives such as
http://automatorworld.com/archives/imageshack-upoader/
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/blogs_forums/imageupload.html but I can't get the latter to work (an issue with connections to ImageShack services?) so I tend to stick with what I know.

Wuala

More recently I'm using Wuala http://www.wuala.com/ for online storage, and to serve images, mainly because it's so well integrated with the operating system. But that's yet another subject :)

Linux stuff to http://groups.diigo.com/groups/ubuntu-linux please :) and I'll be there in due course
