Gmail & AdBlock may cause Firefox to crash
Is this is Microsoft-type trick, or a genuine bug that will be fixed?
Google is advising customers who use Gmail with Firefox to turn of the popular AdBlock extension. This week Google introduces a new feature to Gmail that combines Gmail with their Google Talk instant messager service. Those Gmail users lucky enough to test the new feature are advised that using AdBlock with it may cause Firefox to crash. Google also says that their engineers are working to fix the problem.Personally, the Gmail ads don't bother me at all, for I don't notice them, and I've never needed AdBlock

I use Firefox with Adblock, I got Gmail with Talk and nothing crashed yet...
I'm feelin' lucky ;)
Gmail and FF 1.5 has been crashing for some time for me. I have and use the Adblock extension but oddly I _don't_ block google advertisements so I wouldn't think it would interact with gmail extensively. Google adverts are about the only advertisements that I don't mind viewing.
Try using another browser and you realize how much you miss all of the features in FF. Especially the wallet/auto-login stuff.
