Plugin chrashes Firefox 20.0 #7

Closed roccostorm closed 11 years ago

roccostorm commented 11 years ago

Hi.

I have installed Version 0.3.16 via PPA on Ubuntu 12.10 (64) in Firefox 20.0. Every time I hit "Detect Garmin device" on the Test-Page, the Browser "freezes" and I have to kill the process. Same behaviour on connect.garmin.com/transfer/upload.

It doesn't matter if a device is plugged in or not.

Did you need more information about this? If I get instructions how to collect, I try to provide as much information as needed.

I am using it on Xubuntu 12.04 (64) in Firefox 20.0 and I am not having freezes - and so far you are the first reporting me a problem there.

To find the cause of the problem, it is helpful to start Firefox from a terminal. First close all instances of Firefox, open a terminal and start Firefox by entering "firefox". In case of a crash, Firefox usually outputs some information into the terminal.

You should also enable the debug log of the plugin, and watch if the plugin is doing anything: http://andreas-diesner.de/garminplugin/doku.php?id=configuration#debug_settings

Since the plugin is controlled by javascript you should also have a look at the javascript error console of the browser, and look out for errors - or even go step by step through the javascript code with a debugger.

Okay, I tried another docking-station, and it worked without problems. So all is fine with the plugin, only my docking station is broken. Issue fixed ;-)
