I can reproduce a crash of tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.4.18-rc-1-dev-en-US (10/10 times)

simply by opening webtropia.com or also https://www.webtropia.com (I'm sorry for the "advertisement" here but I figured it might be useful for you to reproduce it)

Confirmed.

I filed a ticket about it here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10195

Also confirmed. I noticed this yesterday (not on this site) but wasn't able to narrow it down to a particular site/page or whether it was due to multiple simultaneous page loads. I also noticed when testing 2.3.25-15 that the network was very slow, but assumed that this was because recently the 2.3 series has been slower than the 2.4 series. However the network still appears slow with 2.4.18. Bitmessage (http://bitmailendavkbec.onion/) also doesn't load (Unable to connect). Maybe this is coincidental? -- kat

Hey everyone,

I made a test 2.4.18-rc-1 bundle with --disable-optimize for Firefox. When I tested it originally it slowed to a crawl very quickly, but some folks on IRC report that they do not experience the same issue. If anyone here could test it for a little while (an hour or so of active use, plenty of tabs, etc) and let me know if it works fine for them I'd appreciate it!

It's here:

After seeing so many sad users in #tor I decided to push this update. It's live on the website now and the blog will be updated soon. Sorry for all the crashing. :( We'll have to find a way to catch that in QA next time.
