Using version 15.0.1 Having a constant problem. I am accessing php pages on my web server. Each of 2 different scripts (same domain) can take up to 20 seconds to complete and display the result to the browser. This is expected and working as expected. What I don't understand, is that while the first tab is opening the first page ( eg. page1.php ) the second page ( page2.php ) that I am trying to open in another browser tab, is completely unresponsive until after the first tab has completed. I have tested in I.E. and this problem appears to be unique to firefox. Problem has been an irritation for at least the last month. I cant confirm if it was present before that. Suggestions please.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the MozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.

The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
You need to register at the MozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.

I have tried safe mode, disabled all extensions, all add-ons, all plug-ins. Still the same problem.

If I test using 2 browser tabs in either IE or Chrome, the problem is solved. Would therefore appear to be a problem unique to Firefox.

Heres my php script that takes 30 seconds to load : www.imagedisk.co.za/test/test.php

This script can't load at the same time in 2 different tabs in Firefox, but can in any other browser.

I see the same happen in Google Chrome on Linux (new tab and new window), so it isn't restricted to Firefox.

Which browsers did you test and did you try to clear the cache?
