For some reason, repl.it crashes my FireFox without fail every time I try to open a REPL.

It's a shame; there have been several occasions over the past few months where it would have been extremely useful, but instead brought things crashing down.

Sorry to hear that. I'll make sure to fix it. Are you on windows? What version of Firefox?

Aside: Firefox have been breaking our site every couple of months and we have to keep hacking around their regressions.

Random feedback for your main site: It's totally unclear to me if you only offer some kind of classroom product or something for more general use. Some of the text indicates the latter, but all the sign-up stuff seems to only target the first.

Thanks, this is valuable feedback. We're in an awkward transitional phase in our marketing material / landing pages.

Thanks for reaching out! Just plain FireFox on Windows. Automatic updates are on, currently at version 51.0.1.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!

It works great for me (also on Firefox).

I don't even know where to begin debugging. My browser just locks up and has to be killed. Usually before the page with the REPL even starts rendering.

Weird.
