Hello,

First let me say I really enjoy this script. Great work!

I've encountered a bug in two instances that causes the script to hang up the browser.

1) After accepting a new friend and FB asks me to suggest new friends for them
2) Inviting people to join a group using the group's invititation feature.

Both involve pulling up your friend's list in a new window. When it happens, I get the following error dialog box - http://i25.tinypic.com/r246d1.gif

The dialog box loops back no matter if I click continue or stop script. The only option I have found is to force quit Firefox, relaunch and kill the offending FB tab before it loads (otherwise the error/loop starts again).

I am using Firefox 3.5 on a Win XP machine.

Thanks!

Hi dbforum29, thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it. Are you using any other Greasemonkey scripts for Facebook?

Hi, I also get this error, same as detailed above. (There are other scripts running, but it seems that this one causes the error)

Hi, I have not been able to reproduce this problem so I'm not sure how to go about fixing it yet. I will keep working on it, but in the mean time if you have keyboard shortcuts enabled you can do the following:

Before going to these pages press L (shift + l). This will stop Facebook Fixer from checking for changes on the page and should prevent the slow down. Once you are finished (or possibly even once the page has finished loading) you can press L again to fully re-enable the script.

I realize this is not ideal but it should at least minimize the annoyance until I can solve it.
