I don't know about you, but the clipmarks site sometimes crashes my firefox.
This seems to happen randomly when loading a clip
Am I the only one experiencing this problem?

(I included a list of my installed ff extensions, maybe there's a conflict there?;
I've got Win XP Professional with SP2 & all updates; & Firefox 1.5.0.7)

For what it's worth, I stopped experiencing crashes when I uninstalled (not just disabled) Greasemonkey, which especially helped with Javascript-heavy sites like CM.

Thx for the tip.
For now I added "http://www.clipmarks.com/*" to the exclusions in my GreaseMonkey Scripts;
I'll let you all know if FF keeps on crashing on the Clipmarks site.

As a sidenote: AdblockPlus is disabled on the clipmarks site.

I disabled Adblock for Clipmarks long ago. Anyone experiencing clips that just won't load? This is likely the reason.

But Clipmarks has been crashing my fox intermittently with or without greasemonkey enabled. I keep the cache under control, so, at this point, I have no idea what's the dealio. I think it began two updates ago, but that could be entirely irrelevant and it may be related to one of the extensions that I've added or upgraded during that time.

Since I put "http://www.clipmarks.com/*" in the Greasemonkey exclusions, i haven't got any more crashes.
Maybe you could try that GD?

And for adblock (plus): Make sure you block http://www.clipmarks.com/* with the wildcard * at the end.

As I said earlier in the comments, for me, having Greasemonkey active or inactive in Clipmarks makes no difference in preventing crashes.

I have Adblock turned off for the whole domain via the statusbar icon, but did that long ago because it was blocking some clips from loading.

Maybe that's the thing ...
Some updates ago clipmarks had another behavior in the Adress bar, showing the full URL; so make sure the wildcard * is added at the end of the disabled url in Adblock.
I don't think Adblock does this by default.
