I use Fire fox too, and yes it does do what you are saying. It only happens on the career stats page.

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

the only problems that I have with firefox, is that sometimes I can't sign in to the windows Live account.

I says it has something to do with the java script error or whatever...

Does anyone else get what I guess is a memory leak after viewing there career stats for halo 3 on bungie.net using Fire Fox? Here is how I produce the lag.

Login to bungie.net go to halo 3 and check out your career stats. After checking out either ranked or social use the Menu such as projects/my stats/bungie online/community.... etc etc etc.

When I do the above the menu and Fire Fox in general lags. The menu drop down takes a little long some times takes longer to actually drop down the menu itself.

Edit: I would of posted this in the Halo 3 forums but, it is a legit concern regarding the bungie website.

It only happens when I interact with the menu.

It certainly is possible, Firefox's Javascript engine is not as robust as IE or as fast. I'll see if I can track it down to anything we're doing.

I actually appears to be a processor issue, not so much a memory problem. I was able to get it to freeze up, and when I pulled up the task manager it read at a 50% CPU usage. And this isn't on a shabby processor. I can't be sure about whether it effects memory too, since I hardly consider anything abnormal unless FF is running over 150 K.

Just thought you might want to know, in case it helps you narrow down where a problem might be.

Good, bad, I'm the guy with the clichéd lines.

I've had this happen a couple times too. Where it will go slow, and whatnot. I'm not sure exactly from what.

EDIT: Nevermind, it indeed does what you are saying. I am running the latest version of firefox on Windows Vista and it does lag on javascript functions after viewing that page.

What about Firefox 3 (minefield)? I just downloaded that and the career stats doesn't seem to be slowing down. I'm not all tech savvy so I'm not sure how to check if it's being overloaded or whatever.

Thanks for the heads up!

I had Firefox v 2.0.0.8 then I downloaded a trunk build of Firefox v 3.0a9pre and it isn't giving me the problems the older version is. I tried to reproduce my error as before and it works fine with that pre release. I'm also on Vista 32.

v 2.0.0.8 = not working
v 3.0a9pre = working

Well a simple quick fix could be to download IE7 and use it until there is a fix if there is a problem.

I haven't used IE in over 3 or 4 years and I don't plan on ever using it again. lol

grab I.E tab. I haven't tested it but it runs IE code within your firefox browser. It's great for some sites that are IE only or the little bugs that some sites still have. BTW Firefox 3.0 has a new rendering engine and behind the scenes work, so thats why it's fixed. I'm checking the wiki to see what kind of Java script was added or fixed in Firefox 3.

Yep that happens to me aswell.

I'm running an Intel Core 2 Duo at 2.67 GHz and this site's menu maxes it out. I have to chalk that up to bad scripting somewhere along the line. Now that you guys aren't part of MS, do you really need to exclude Firefox from being usable on your site?

I feel you there, but: IE7 is a lot different. It's not too bad. Or, if you can't bring yourself to it, there's always this:

Which works well for me right now, too.

It sounds like it is definitely a problem related specifically to FF 2's JavaScript engine. I notice the lag on the menu in all areas of the site, but it wasn't until you all mentioned it that I realized the problem worsens on the Career Stats page (FF 2.0.0.8). Stupid firefox... :(

Lol. Yes. Part of Bungie's contract with MS is that bungie is not allowed to make websites that work well in any browser but IE...</sarcasm> If you read the thread, you would realize that it most likely isn't the script that is glitching, but the way that FF's JavaScript engine executes it.

Oh, please. Firefox's Javascript engine is not up to par with Internet Explorer's (and for a reason), but that does not mean that Firefox's Javascript engine is useless garbage. Bungie.net and Digg.com are the only two pages I have found that it struggles with, which really would lead most people to believe that the problem is with those two sites. Bungie, like Digg, needs to realize that if they can't control the browser people are viewing their site with, they'd be much better off insuring their site works for all browsers, rather than that of its (once, now former) parent company.

As for you putting it beyond MS to make sure that its products don't work with the products of its competitors, please come back to reality. Googling "+microsoft +anti-trust" might be a good place for you to start.
