Same problems with using the IE tab option in Firefox, same version.
The weird thing is that when I go to Gawker and login from their site, my "correct" avatar shows up.
Thanks!

Problems:
1) Can't reply to comments.
2) If I go to my own comment via the link on my personal page, I can't go anywhere else in the thread - if I click on "next" or a page number, for example, it toggles over and then refreshes the page I first landed on.
3) Slow load-times that sometimes fail all together.
4) I'd like to delete an unfriendly personal message (nothing untoward, just continuing an argument that I do not want to continue), but clicking on the red X and then confirming that, yes, I want to delete it doesn't really work. It disappears at the time, and then reappears if I go back to my messages.

AND
PC (no idea what year) running Windows 98 and IE (not sure what version, I'm sorry, it's my work computer)
*PC/Mac: Slow loading, can't have Jez or Gawker open at all without slowing down my computer
*Mac: Avatars disappearing
*PC: Can't expand comments at all, have to switch to classic view

better lifehacker
have had the worst problems immediately upon upgrading to firefox 3 from firefox 2
-adblock plus is not helping
-sllooooooooow to load
-firefox freezes an locks up frequently while scrolling and typing - sometimes rebooting the computer is all that will clear it
-i get the roboform popup box every time i click to a new page and every time i click to expand the comments
-comments vanish get delayed before posting or end up in the wrong thread.
- i sometimes get "image of stabby" link above comment box
- avatar gone from user page
- miss having a user page with message box and "wall" with follower count etc. now only have recent posts.
- sometimes comments won't load at all though the post does
- before adblock plus, gawker ads or art would open in anothether tab randomly
- i'm going to try noscript for firefox and see if it helps

I have issues viewing my own profile, the comments sometimes don't load AT ALL, and it has been eating my valuable comments a lot lately so half the time I don't even attempt to leave any.
Then...at home on a Compaq EVO desktop running XP using Opera 9 Web Browser it won't let me switch from the condensed version of the site to the expanded one!

Browser and Complaint: Camino (Firefox build) Painfully slow and impossible to navigate.
Safari - Not slow at all, but the reply feature on comments has ceased to work. It pulls a "Go to # on this page"
I've noticed that lots of ads on other sites including facebook started making camino (and thus likely firefox) very slow and practically useless, so I've grudgingly switched to Safari, and I don't like it.

Damn, if it doesn't take forever to scroll. And when it does, it is jumpy and skips things. HELP ME GET MY JEZEBEL BACK.

Running current Adblock Plus extension - have had it disabled on Jezebel.com, but occasionally, when ads are heavy, I turn it on. I typically have 8-20 tabs open in FF.
I am experiencing some things that others are - mostly in relation to comments behavior:
This "Invite friends" thing looks new... I wonder if there's a CSS issue there...
Other stuff I'm seeing - comments navigation acting a little odd (couldn't switch pages yest.), slow rendering times, YouTube Flash player occasionally not rendering at all - seem to point toward JavaScript issue. I'd guess there may be a problem in the order that some scripts are running, or a variable conflict, or a DNS issue (timeout) in a call from a remote site (Facebook? other?).
That said... I'm guessing and haven't looked at Jscript debug logs or FF error logs - and I haven't methodically enabled/disabled things with WebDeveloper extension or AdBlocker.

Operating system: Windows Vista
Browser: Firefox 3.0.5
Problems: *Occasionally, the site doesn't load, period. Hasn't happened today, though. Yesterday, it happened maybe twice.
*When commenting, my avatar doesn't display and instead has the text "Image of (my username)".
*On my profile page, avatar doesn't display as mentioned above, and the layout of the page is out of whack. The boxes for friends and followers are at the very bottom.
*When clicking on stories, I'll go to comment and find that I've been logged out somehow. When that happens, usually the links to my profile page at the top don't display and I have to go back to the main page to log in.
*Sometimes, there's a hangup with commenting and comments never go through.
I think that was it...

When in Classic view I click on an "@commenter name:" link within a comment to see what comment is being replyied to, it only jumps back to the original comment if it's within the same page (i.e. original is comment #13, the reply is comment #56).
If the original comment is on a previous page (i.e. original is comment #13, reply is comment #156), clicking does nothing. The only way I can see the original comment is by right-clicking the @commenter name: link and opening it up as a new tab. This can be extremely annoying in longer comment threads, and was already happening before the big upgrade to threaded comments and other changes.
Same thing happens at work, where I'm using an HP Compag desktop L1906, running Windows XP Professional, and Firefox 2.0.0.19.
