It seems me and some more users have a problem browsing Neogaf with Firefox.
The browser just get locked up because of that script: "http://cdn.viglink.com/api/vglnk.js:21"

Anymore people in the same case ?

Wolf Akela · Aug 24, 2016

Never had issues with Firefox desktop or mobile.

Lathentar · Aug 24, 2016

Yes, having the same issue here.

Seppuku · Aug 24, 2016

Yeah, same issue here.

Subterranean · Aug 24, 2016

I updated to 48.0.2 and that seemed to fix it.

Edit - Never mind, it is still happening.

TC McQueen · Aug 24, 2016

I don't, but then I run NoScript and only run the minimal amount of scripts for the site and minimal ads to work.

Manu · Aug 24, 2016

Yep, same here.

Spieler Eins · Aug 24, 2016

Oh, so it's from GAF...

desmax · Aug 24, 2016

Same thing

Cudder · Aug 24, 2016

No, but I'm a NeoGAF user that has a problem with Firefox.

Mithos · Aug 24, 2016

Yes, and its the same crap on Skyrim Nexus pages so I just opted out from it for now.

RainbowIslands · Aug 24, 2016

No issues for me either. I use FF beta channel on Mac, + FF release channel on Windows (7 and lately 10), and never had problems. Have you tried deleting your cache or force refresh??

21XX · Aug 24, 2016

Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Wanna fight about it?

stoff · Aug 24, 2016

Yup, same issue since today.

GhostTrick · Aug 24, 2016

Thank you. You're my hero today. Although, why should I opt in or out from this thing ? What is it ?

udivision · Aug 24, 2016

yous gotta a problem with me now, do yas?

crimzonflame · Aug 24, 2016

OK I thought it was my work PC.

pLow7 · Aug 24, 2016

I have problems when i want to post somethin while i'm not logged in. When i hit "Post Reply" and log in ( it even says "Thank you for login in plow7") it kicks me out again.
Don't know if this is a FireFox issue. Haven't tried with other browsers.

Kindekuma · Aug 24, 2016

Working fine for me on both FireFox for Windows, OS X, and iOS version of FireFox.

shira · Aug 24, 2016

^this

Chrome runs fine.

Pinko Marx · Aug 24, 2016

Ya I gotta problem with NeoGAF wanna fight about it.

Curufinwe · Aug 24, 2016

Thanks a bunch.

Manu · Aug 24, 2016

Worked like a charm. Thanks.

Sanctuary · Aug 24, 2016

Funny that you should post this. Just today I've had Firefox become unresponsive ten times here, and have to stop the script.
Thanks for the link BTW. Just disabled the script.

Krammy · Aug 24, 2016

Yep, same problem here just started a few hours ago.

Vespa · Aug 24, 2016

Had that come up on Chrome mobile, switched to desktop mode and it was fine. Some sort of fake virus threat :/

The Jackdog · Aug 24, 2016

getting the issue bad here

jellies_two · Aug 24, 2016

Viglink monetizes links that you click to Amazon etc iit may make the site more money than ads do.
It searches al links on a page and attaches event handlers to them. Fwiw I switched viglinks to skinlinks then did custom Amazon referral codes on Amazon links and made more money per month that way. They take a lot of money and the idea they get bigger commissions in bulk doesn't really pan out unless you are a tiny site.

tryagainlater · Aug 24, 2016

Yea, every time I click on a page.

Captains Curse · Aug 24, 2016

same here on PC. I can check on Mac tonight

Burning Justice · Aug 24, 2016

Yep. Having the same issue.

The Praiseworthy · Aug 24, 2016

Yeah me too :\

test_account · Aug 24, 2016

Yeah, i got that problem too. I thought it was the PC or Youtube acting up, but now i just have NeoGAF open and it still locks up for a few seconds.

jesu · Aug 24, 2016

What am I opting out of there, please.

Mithos · Aug 24, 2016

Exactly, (you were faster then me to answer), so this makes NeoGAF money if you have it activated, and click a link to amazon (example) and then buy stuff from amazon.

But unless they can't fix the script errors I'm keeping it deactivated.

WedgeX · Aug 24, 2016

I was having massive issues earlier today.

Shanlei91 · Aug 24, 2016

Literally, clicking on this thread froze firefox for 10 seconds.

Dictator93 · Aug 24, 2016

same issue here, firefox.

Hah same. 6 seconds though (with "is not responding" showing up for a second in the header)

Lime · Aug 24, 2016

That explains it. Thanks!

_woLf · Aug 24, 2016

Yep, I'm hitting it as well. Script being fucky.

Famassu · Aug 24, 2016

I seem to have this same problem on Opera.

kurahador · Aug 24, 2016

Glad to know I'm not the only one. I thought the latest update (48.0.2) would fix it, turns out it's not.

sky_dmc · Aug 24, 2016

Yep. Having the same issue. =[

studyguy · Aug 24, 2016

At work on IE (lel) and it happens every time I load a new page.
Locks up for like 10-5 seconds waiting for an ad to load or something.

Cow Goes Moo · Aug 24, 2016

thanks

davepoobond · Aug 24, 2016

locks up every load and then comes back

Ricerocket · Aug 24, 2016

This fixed it, that's ridiculous...

Diabelli · Aug 24, 2016

noscript, bros.

BLACKLAC · Aug 24, 2016

You are awesome.

Man God · Aug 24, 2016

Yep, main page of any of the subforums. When I get in a thread its fine.
