Firebug crashing Firefox for some sites

[Kuroi]

Firebug is great. Absolutely indispensable. But you know that.
Unfortunately, about a week ago it started crashing every few pages
that I tried to load. Hmmm.

The symptom is that the page will part load and then Firefox will
freeze completely and has to be stopped and re-started. It is a
completely reproducible problem and so for me happens (for example)
every time I try to access the following page - http://tutorials.zen-cart.com.

It can be stopped by disabling Firebug for the sites in question. But
as that's roughly 1in 5 sites that I have tried to visit in the few
days and Firefox needs to be re-started every time, before the page
can be disabled for the future, surfing (or research as I prefer to
call it) has become a real drag.

I was using Firebug 1.05 until this morning, when I upgraded to 1.1b4,
but have seen no change as a result of the upgrade. Other obvious
steps like flushing my cache have been done, and I'm not the only
person having this problem (I've been contacted by others asking if I
know how to fix it!)

Any suggestions would be most welcome. Or is it a real bug?

The referenced site uses http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js
which crashes FF with Firebug.
Do you have javascript.options.strict set true?  Pls URL about:config
for that setting.

Thanks John, but I'm afraid that a bit more hand holding might be
needed here. How do I tell if I have the javascript.options.strict set
to true? Though, using the web developer toolbar (am I allowed to
mention that here???) I go to disable > javascript > strict warnings
and select it (it wasn't selected before) this stops the problem dead.
This sounds like the same thing as you're asking, but I don't haven't
been able to find a way to access it other than through the Web
Developer toolbar.

Not sure what "Pls URL about:config for that setting" means.

However, all this may be moot. With Firefox 2.0.0.8 and Firebug
1.1.0b5 the problem appears have been resolved anyway.

I've noticed similar problems and have javascript.options.strict set
true. Setting to false will stop the freeze?

Kuroi,

If you type "about:config" into your address bar in FF you'll get a
list configuration options for FF.

If you then type strict into the filter text box, you should see it.

javascript.options.strict false will significantly reduce the number
of FF crashes with pages that use pageads.js aka Google AdSense.
