Anyone else having this error message?
edit: the blackbox around is there not because the picture is edited, the error message makes anything beneath it turn black.

what version of Firefox are you running?

That looks like an addon to me. Try disabling your addons one by one, see which one causes it.

It happens very randomly, and I've been unable to reproduce the problem these few days. It
ONLY
happens in wowhead.

Icecream, shadtheshade, where are you located (state/country)?

Canada.. why does it matter?

It matters because we run various different ad networks that target their advertising by location. I'm located in the US, so I don't see the same ads you do.
Any additional information you can provide would obviously be helpful. Take a look at the
Reporting Advertisements
post and you can see the information we find the most helpful for tracking down ad issues.

First of all. it is happening to me. I am in Canada. It's a flash ad, but it never loads because we get the "white window" and then it crashes the client... I'm running the newest Flash version...
The only way I could "THINK" about tracking what one it is, is writing a list of all the ones that "Don't" crash firefox...

If you see it again, try and hit "stop" and/or quickly grab the media in Tools -> Page Info -> Media, if possible.

You said in another thread you were getting the crashbox, if you get the occasion could you send me the crash details by mail? My mail is on my profile.

I am using the latest IE on 8.1.
Wowhead freezes my browser. Going into application manager and ending the process clears the problem.
Not ideal, but it works.(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##This thread is from 2007 so nothing in it will be relevant to your current issue.
If you're able to pin the issue down to a problematic advert then there's a sticky thread in this forum about reporting them (and that would be very much appreciated). If it isn't ad based then contact and we'll look into things.
