Hi,

An old website I created has a problem displaying a very large background image when *loads* of tabs are open (which makes me think its something to do with memory).

An example page of the site in question is: http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/about-us

The white background image (which is super large for reasons not to discuss now) will show fine when, say, up to 10 tabs are open. However, if you have loads and loads of tabs open, this image doesn't display/render (even though firebug says it has).

Some info about the image: http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/sites/all/themes/southbank-centre/images/template-3-col.png 79.6kb 940px by 23000px (super huge I know)

The problem is when it doesnt load, the copy is hard to read (as you can imagine).

This doesnt seem unique to my computer. It happens to other peoples firefox browsers (and they have slightly different versions and different plug-ins).

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.

I'm not having any problems on that page with over 80 tabs open and the number of tabs shouldn't matter.

Did you check if you can reproduce it with a clean new profile without extensions?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Hi cor-el,

The same thing happens in safe mode (and i havent got any other theme bar the default).

I think it also depends on other programs being used (taken memory) and general computer spec.

It's easier to replicate on an old/crappy computer then a relatively new one.

Its very wierd.
