    I am having issues copying and pasting on xsimulator.net with Firefox 47.0, which I believe may be related to this: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xf-1-5-5-firefox-paste-bug.110998/#post-1027267

    @RaceRay has not been able to reproduce it, so asked if others may have experienced it.

    For me the problem seems to occur when I have lots of xsimulator.net tabs open, which is pretty common for me. It copies OK but then freezes Firefox when pasting. This is the capture:

    Please deactivate all firefox plugins incl. uBlock origin and again. So we can exclude any browser plugin issue first before changing code.

    As i did not update the forum major version since a while (only minor and patches) i wonder you experience that issues not earlier.

    If anyone else notice that please let me know.

    Btw. What happens when you click on "continue" and wait longer?

    The dialogue you are referring to indicates that the script is running in a loop or needs a lot of cpu time. This is not unusual when a lot of tabs of the xsimulator site are opened because the forum is doing for every tab ajax calls in the background. This could lead to a cpu time consumption which exceeds the allowed script time on your javascript browser engine.

    Does that happen only on the same post or is it more a question of length and happens occasionally on all huge posts?
