It looks like one of the most recent Firefox updates has broken Google Gears’ compatibility with WordPress. As of a few days ago opening the media uploader seems to cause a total browser crash.<\/p>\n
I can’t find any way to work around this issue short of completely disabling Gears. Even deleting your WordPress installation’s profile in Gears doesn’t seem to do the trick.<\/p>\n
Just to make sure Gears is the culprit, I tried disabling every single other Firefox plugin and<\/em> every single WordPress plugin. No dice.<\/p>\n I don’t know what needs to be done to resolve this, but I’m fairly sure this is an actual issue and not a localised configuration issue because it’s causing the same crash on two different computers, operating systems, and on all WordPress 2.7.1 installations (I operate many).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1090642","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/1090642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/1090642\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1090642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
