FF hanging suddenly when trying to backup NTT #416

I'm suddenly getting an issue that anytime I try to backup the New Tab Tools config it causes my FF (60.0.2) to hang. Have to kill it via taskmgr. Any idea of how to fix this?

Me too, but not in Firefox Nightly. Seems to be a problem with Firefox. Hmm…

For me, trying to do a backup with thumbnails saved for tiles causes Firefox to hang, eventually requiring a force quit.

If no thumbnails are saved, the backup will work fine.

This is in Firefox 60.0.2, with the latest New Tab Tools 88.2, on OS X 10.11.6.

I’ve tested this on two separate Macs, with the same setup.

I should add, you will see a “newtabtools.zip.part” created along with a zero bytes “newtabtools.zip”, but it never finishes.

Is there a way to fix this though? A major part of value of the addin is the thumbs.

Have had the bug since Firefox 57, but went away recently, perhaps around Firefox 62b
