A Serious Beta 2 blocker?
While doing some testing today, we found a serious bug that will probably have to be addressed before Beta 2 ships.
It has to do with the migration code just barfing on large amounts of input.
As Rob Strong notes, it's currently unclear whether or not it's a blocker, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be. The attachments have some pretty disconcerting screenshots in them, as does the test URL noted in the bug.
I know sspitzer is working on investigating it more; expect a complete writeup soonishly.

Nice post. You had me going there. :)

Just as of today, I can't seem to access my gmail account using Firefox. It just seems to stall while "loading." It's never been a problem before. And I've checked my Internet options..made sure that pop-ups from gmail.com are "allowed." I wonder if this anything to do with the
"blocker" that you're talking about. If not, than what else could be causing the problem???
By the way, I seem to have no trouble accessing it with IE.
Please indulge me...I am NOT very internet savvy, so I don't know if I'm even in the right ballpark.
I have no idea where else to put this request for info. Please contact me if you have any ideas: elziro1@msn.com

Oh I hope beta blockers won't be abandoned, I depend on betablockers. One drop in the morning in each of my eyes, and a drop in the evening in my left eye, is all I need to not be forced to specialize on testing the Accessability features of Firefox :-) :-(
I've been trying myself to produce some beta blockers on mozilla.org, but I didn't succeed, so I'm still dependend on buying them in a pharmacy.
