[Fasterfox] issue with best-of-craigslist and FF 1.5RC1

[Tony Gentilcore]

Hi M -

 

Thanks for the report.  I haven't noticed this problem before.

 

Fasterfox's current behavior is to attempt to prefetch ALL of the links on a
site; apparently there were so many links on this page that the script timer
timed out. 

 

In the next version, I will pick a maximum number of links to attempt to
prefetch, something like 100 links per page (I doubt prefetching more than
this really does any good anyway).  This should hopefully prevent problems
like this in the future.

 

Thanks again,

Tony

Hi,

I tried to go to the following URL, using FasterFox 0.8.0 with the
"Optimized" setting level:

http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/

I'm using Firefox 1.5 RC1 on Linux.  When I go to that page, Firefox freezes
for a while, and then I get a dialog box that says "A script on this page
may be busy, or may have stopped responding...", after which I can click the
"Stop Script" button and go to the page.  When I switch to the "Courteous"
level, the problem does not occur.  Is this an issue with the Craigslist web
server, or with Fasterfox?  Thanks! 

-M
