It's not JavaScript; it's the fact that there are many complex Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files being rendered by the link you posted.
Fedora's hardware-accelerated graphics stack is notoriously buggy, so it is quite possible that Firefox's use of the graphics stack is causing a bug in the g...
BrazilianGuy stopped responding to my messages so maybe one of you can help
Shifting from semi-normal daytime to "wake 14:00-ish, softyely do thing. Work 17:00-ish 00:30-ish) and then itnernet for a few hours takes some adjusting
it could potentially also be the compositing manager, in which case hw accel in FF would make no difference, but I don't see how the compositor could get confused by some complex shapes on the pixmap, because the pixmap is just a 2d array of color values, it doesn't care about the patterns or shapes or lines etc
so if your compositor is working generally fine otherwise then it's probably not that
@allquixotic no difference. Accessing the site with or without hardware accel. makes one core spike to 100% and greatly increases memory usage but does not crash the system, only firefox. I have 8 gigs on this machine though so its probably the exact same symptoms as our Brazilian friend.
meh, @ThatBrazilianGuy I would report a bug in FF, I disabled HWA and the whole thing went ape, copy the about:support page and don't ever visit that page again
@Boris_yo well the thing about a banner add, it does not have to be clicked on. Nobody clicked on a coca-cola add before it became the worlds best known product. Problem is it is BS to get paid for "clicks" from some large corporations that are probably getting paid on views and clicks. People pay for "exposure" , but some people only get paid for Exposure + click.

The memory leak happens on render rather than on pageload: If I load the page with a tiny height it loads fine. Then I scroll down and on a certain line it hangs! So @allquixotic's assumption about a graphics driver issue seems right
@Boris_yo Same as the banners, if you are ever going to get "money" you have to cut out the people taking most of it :-) "Because Machinima negotiates ad rates directly with sponsors" Not only that, but people who have fully localised to the readers Advertising, are getting a lot more for thier advertising doller. When i am on GamerxGuide.com, showing me an ad for a tampon, and a movie with russian subtitles, isnt very effective.
@Boris_yo right, so cacacola got really big by just spending 50% of everything they made, shoving the product into peoples faces. not asking them to call a 800 number (click)
@ThatBrazilianGuy what if you select, say, two or three random images from the list and load them? just delete the other <img> lines and reload... you can do this rapidly in a file on your local system
@Boris_yo Oooh you get world wide exposure on the web, when the phone book exposure might be way better, or localised radio. Same thing can occur On the web. Bob doesnt want to hear about the new Toy they got, that costs him $50 to ship to OZ :-) it would be better to show bob what he can buy where he is. Sometimes world exposure isnt to usefull.
Riht, showered. Dressed in red (to match with work clothing). Cat fed. Litter cleaned. Dutch to polish translation printed (some of the workers are Polish and do not speak Dutch or English).
for what it's worth, scrolling on that rawgithub gist link on FF on Windows takes about 1 second per movement of the scrollbar, and CPU usage spikes severely during that 1 second
@Psycogeek Machinima on YouTube negotiates with sponsors? In this case it is done out of YouTube partner program because in partner program you do not negotiate anything but live with what YouTube gives you.
Could an SVG be constructed in such way, that when reading meta data it makes the server unresponsive. and could be used as DoS attack on the server?
What do you mean by metadata? If you are after width and height, you would have to parse the SVG files at least partially to get it; there's n...
@Boris_yo They are not just big they are have a few secrataries and a lawyer kind of big :-) So i assume it was meant they negotiate, and youtube still gets thier cut too? Sure if you just make videos and toss them up expecting to get paid, like anything you will get some trickle down. A token of to continue, Isnt that the way everything works :-)
IMO is a memory leak triggered by combination of the weirdest factors that only happens 1-in-a-billion... (just to say that I have no idea, but sound smart at the same time)
@Boris_yo (back at You-tube) I am still wondering where and what these ads are and how the heck my machine magically doesnt show the video ads. they should be on the same "stream" that my browser is asked to show. Just yesterday i saw those ads For The First Time like ever (different computer). I know my machine has some blocking going on, but i have no idea what kind of magic act has them dissapeared.
@terdon @Braiam @ThatBrazilianGuy can one of you guys install apitrace and run an apitrace on Firefox when loading this? Let it crash your browser. Run with hardware accel enabled. Then play back the trace with glretrace. If glretrace crashes, it's not in Firefox.
@ThatBrazilianGuy you should be able to install apitrace then run qapitrace to significantly simplify the difficulty of using that tool... the GUI qapitrace should contain everything you need (should)

@Boris_yo Ya gotta really love that. MS puts in ad block and for some reason all the ads but the bing ones go away. Google hands out an addblock and all the bing ads dissapear but for some reason the google ads stay. . . etc etc. The countries are at war with eachother, with greed bombs.
@Boris_yo like this is america, the first "black fryday" shooting or black friday gang beatings, with a side of black friday police brutality, and the whole thing will be against the law tomorrow :-)
There's one thing I don't understand about Black Friday rush. Why would people go to such lengths without knowing if what they want will be available and just end up buying stuff they have not researched about, ending putting it to collect dust and leave bad reviews probably?
@allquixotic The problem is, my browser doesn't crash. I have to manually sigterm it, or else the system slows to a sever crawl and I have to reboot the machine.
@Boris_yo Because there is Return Monday :-) Honest. the stuff comes flowing back so fast on the next few days, they run more sales again so they can re-spend the money (hopefully more permenent this time).
@Boris_yo yup and it is another line you can sleep in, while returning the "deal" you got the other day. Can take 2 hours waiting in line to do a return then.
@Boris_yo you got 14-30 days to return in most cases here. so they must go crasy returning because . . . they spent all thier money and cheap black friday junk :-) I return quick because i dont want to get stuck with things. Keep the reciept, keep the packaging, try to repack it nice, make sure all the stuff is there, and returns are a breeze. I just dont want it, but i sure dont want them to quit taking returns.
@Boris_yo legally , if they completly warn the persons, they can have a "no return" policy posted all over. There are places that do. they sell stuff cheaper, and will refuse to take any returns. I almost had a TV bought from one place, then i noticed the reciept i was about to sign, and bailed out.
@Boris_yo If you have a problem they suggest you take it up with the manufacture, on the complete other side of the planet , costing more to ship there and back then the item costs. Aka, your pretty much screwed :-)
