Thermaltake,

I have not heard of this issue before, but it could be due to several reeasons:
..
1. A combination of GM scripts can have bizarre consequences. Post a list of the other scripts you are using.
..
2. The order of the scripts in GM. You can re-arrange the scripts in the Script Management section. It is recommended to have TCLC at the bottom to process the page AFTER all other scripts are done.
..
There are others, but these are the most common. Please let me know and I'll see what we can do.

Have you used the script in previous versions of Firefox? If so was the performance OK. I'm wondering if there is something in the latest version of FF that is affecting the script. I am not currently using 3.5.5.

As far as I can determine, the behavior you are seeing is isolated to you. I, and others, have tried to duplicate the problem and have, so far, not been able to replicate it.
..
From the info you have given, I can make a few comments:
..
1. Since the freezing you describe is intermittent and regular, it leads me to believe that the root of the problem is not the LC scripts. They ONLY activate once per page, immediately after the page is loaded. There is no loop in the script. It's a one-time execution.
..
2. It could be related to another FF Add-On, not a GM script. Add-Ons are lower level than GM scripts and can do some behind-the-scenes processing (intermittent checking of GMail, getting the status of a site, etc). With this kind of constant refreshing, you might see something like the behavior you describe.

3. Since no one else is seeing the problem, it is most likely a combination of installed Add-ons/Scripts on your PC.

Now, to find out more, some additional testing is needed. I would recommend:
1. Make sure you are using the most recent version of GM and TCLC Test version: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/43375.
2. Disable ALL add-ons except GM.
3. Disable ALL GM scripts except TCLC.
4. LC a page and see if the behavior persists. If it does not, enable a single additional add-on and LC the same page until you find out if one of them is causing the behavior.
4. Post all additional info here.
..
We will track this down. I will wait for any additional info. Thanks,
yah.

Onoredone,

I use IDM constantly and have had no problems to speak of. I depend on it above all other plugins. If you can let me know what problems you are having specifically, maybe I can help solve them for you.

yep, i can confirm this. i found out that IDM will try to autodownload hotfile files(in my case, n i dont have hotfile premium), this makes FF freeze for a momment and or forever (10 hotfile files will disable my FFv3.5.3). i disable hotfile check and everything's fine, i thought it might happend with some other filehost. maybe the author can fix:). I do read about autodownload recomendation, but i think it got conflict with hotfiles. btw, i got your newest script. thanks.

Thanks for the details. I've found it best to delete my hotfile.com cookie from firefox and then enter my hotfile credentials in my IDM "Site Logins" tab. TCLC works just fine and no behind-the-scenes downloads get kicked off. I can then just right click on any hotfile.com links and choose to "Download with IDM" to download any links I actually do want.
..
Let me know if this works for you. I also have to do this with megaupload.
..
Thanks,
yah.
