FVD causes delay in opening new Firefox windows?

Dear Applian: first of all, great plug-in, which can often be relied to upon to succeed at this task where others fail. For the past couple days, however, I believe the 3.0.8 release has been causing a serious problem with Firefox (initially 3.5.8 and now 3.6) on my Mac: opening new Firefox windows now takes approximately a full minute, sometimes even longer. I raised the issue on the Mozilla forum (see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/618972O), and based on the experiences and troubleshooting of a couple other users who have just started having the same problem, it seems all but certain that FVD is the extension responsible. I've disabled it for now, and the delay has gone away, but I hope this can be addressed in the next release: I would miss FVD, to be sure!

Same problem using Ubuntu Linux, see:

Had the same problem.

Mac OSX 10.4.11 on a G4 PowerBook.

Firefox 3.6, FVD 3.0.8

New windows would not open under any circumstance; From the file menu, Command N, from the drop down 'open in new window'.

Traced it to FVD and uninstalled the addon. Firefox seems to be working normally now.

Too bad it was a very handy addon.

I am unable to reproduce this issue on my Vista or Windows 7 machine. Is anyone having this issue on Windows systems?

Running on windows 7 ultimate 32-bit. no problems so far.

Firefox 3.6, FVD 3.0.8. No problems using on
-Ubuntu 9.10 Kamic Koala
-Windows XP SP3
-Windows 7 Ultimate x64

p.s. I usually open a new tab (CTRL+T) instead of a new window.

Just happened to me today. I've been running Windows 7 with FireFox and the FVD since October with no problems what-so ever. Then today out of the blue, I tried to open a new window and nothing happened. Clicked the link again, still nothing. About a minute later, two new windows opened.

I disabled all of the add-ons in FireFox, and the problem went away. I enabled them one at a time, and as soon as FVD was enabled, the problem returned.

Hopefully a fix is found soon.

The developer is aware of this issue and is working on an upgrade for it. I don't know when it will be released. Thanks for your patience on this.

Any news on an update???

We are currently testing a version to make sure it is a good one. As of now I don't have a release date for this but so far working great.
