Rated 5 out of 5 stars

[Although as it turns out unrelated to this addon, this post might still prove helpful for people experiencing the same problem.]

Update: Problem occurs in Firefox 26.0, will be resolved in Firefox 27. If you need a fix in the meantime I suggest using Firefox ESR (Firefox 24 for companies which will receive security updates for ~1 year).

edit: Fault seems to lie indeed with Firefox 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.2 and 27 Beta don't seem to be affected.

I'm not 100% sure why Firefox crashes in this scenario, but ThumbnailZoom+ is involved, so here I am.

I'd very much appreciate it if the developer checks out this problem as it occurs in the same configuration (Firefox, Addons) even AFTER a system re-install.

Error appears using Firefox 26 (didn't happen w/ Firefox <26 iirc) + Reddit Enhancement Suite + Thumbnail Zoom Plus when viewing animated GIFs.

Error: Firefox is stuck at 100% CPU usage and doesn't respond (need to kill process and restart).

Reproduce the error:FF 26 + RES + ThumbnailZoomPlus
Lots of gifs to test for example http://www.reddit.com/r/reactiongifs/

(happens only if these two addons are active, hardware acceleration (on/off) doesn't matter, neither do other addons (on/off))

1) hover over link (ThumbnailZoom+ shows partial GIF)
BEFORE IMAGE IS COMPLETELY LOADED
2) move cursor (viewer closes), then expand the image on reddit using the little button with a Camera and "+". (Which is useful for resizing the image) which is located next to the thumbnail

--> Crash / Freeze

*** for me this results in a crash after at most 15 gifs ***

I'm aware RES isn't even an official addon on here...but here's a comment section. And maybe there's an actual underlying problem somewhere.That being said, sorry for abusing the rating system to (maybe) have someone check out this error which might not even happen because of this addon.System: Core i5 2500k, Win7 Pro 64bit, SSD
