Flex Debug session timing out in Firefox.

So I noticed the version of Firefox i've been using with Flash Builder 4.5 is increasingly crashing my plugin when in debug mode which is hugely annoying and needless to say makes stepping thru a debug session a not so fun experience.

In case anyone else is interested what i did to fix this is simple:
(Use this at your own discretion im harmless if this blows your computer up :P)

1. In your url bar type in "about:config" without the quotes.
2. Locate the search field at the top of the document and enter: "dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs" without the quotes.
3. Double click on that item and set its value to what ever you'd like to increase the amount of time before it considers a plugin hung.
4 NOTE: if you change that value to -1 it should never time out.

Coldfusion and Stuff

Lately i've been planning a new site as well as working on some game dev stuff. My schedule is not one that allows for very much free time and when i do have down time and i'm not with my fam, i'm thinking about game design.

I've come to a conclusion that i'd like to use coldfusion as my web app server to martial request from the public server's to a website that will do generic lookups on non sensitive stuff.

Also i'd like it to handle be the secure web server for data coming from the secure game server to the master game database.

So, why CF.

Well one its cool :p and 2 i also want to use a flex client for the website/mobile version of the game.

Using CF as the go between layer allows me have a api setup that can be leveraged across multiple clients.

I'd like to know if anyone has used CF in this capacity and how was it for you if you have?
