Event Timeline

Jdlrobson added a project: Web-Team-Backlog.

could get even more problematic in roll out to en.wikipedia and seen on several IP addresses across projects.

Jdlrobson lowered the priority of this task from High to Medium.

This is no longer a top ten error and according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Errors/Dead_object comes from Firefox addons. For this reason I'm filtering out the error and declining this bug.

"he JavaScript exception "can't access dead object" occurs when Firefox disallows add-ons to keep strong references to DOM objects after their parent document has been destroyed to improve in memory usage and to prevent memory leaks."
