XF 1.4 Awww Snap - Chrome crashing

[Jim Boy]

A number of my users are complaining about Chrome (latest version) crashing when on the forum. There doesn't seem to be any other real consistency that I can detect, some people report it happening when hovering over the alerts icon or when visiting the main forum page. Its been happening over the last couple of weeks including on different O/S.

There are no errors being reported on the server side, either in the server log or through other logs (eg load balancer).

I cannot reproduce the error hence it makes it hard to troubleshoot.

Anyone had any similar issues?

Have you tried enabling the default XenForo style for them and seeing if it happens still?

I've had the problem on my Mac.. and it's not been restricted to a XenForo site. I've had it happen on a WordPress one, on a couple of vBulletin ones and my XenForo ones. I think it's a problem in Chrome itself.

Chrome has been pretty crashy in recent releases.

Firefox all the way!

FireFlux has it's own problems. I don't feel like spending the 3 hours and 3000 words it would take to detail them.

I typically get "

from Adobe Flash plugin crashing.

I think I'll put it down to chrome being crap

After not being able to reproduce, have been able to reproduce regularly.

Getting it on forum home, if I refresh the page and put the mouse over alerts, it will crash on about 10% of occurences.

With javascript console on, the last message is always:

 XenForo.activate([div.alertsPopup.__XenForoActivator, prevObject: e.fn.init[1], context: undefined, jquery: "1.11.0", constructor: function, selector: ""…])

One time, rather than crashing, I got an uncaught exception, image pasted below



Nothing is going into chrome://crashes, which I have enabled.

Comments aside about Chrome being crap, which really aren't helpful, anyone got any thoughts on this?

Well that uncaught exception is within the Facebook SDK so that might be relevant.
