Lesson is definitley learned ? Thanks!

Thanks for helping me! I ended up reinstalling firefox. Not using nightly, just the stable channel. Refreshed it and got rid of a bunch of add ons. Now it works without crashing! I don't know enough about how the guts of a broswer works to know what was going wrong. I just have to hope that it is all stable enough for using in production. Thanks for the tip, I will go and amend the js so that it is tidier. As I said am just a newbie so I have a lot to learn about gsap and js in general. This is my first svg animation ever and am pleased with it and pleased with how easy it was with gsap. Thanks again!

Hi Craig. Thanks for looking at it for me! I fixed the errors you pointed out and finished making the animation. I switched to working in Chrome. It is still crashing my Firefox though Since it runs fine for you, at this point I don't know if the problem is just my browser or if I have done something stupid in my code. The animation crashes my firefox tab regardless of whether am running it locally or in codepen. I am running firefox nightly and it still crashes even when running it with add ons disabled. So weird. Am going to have to fix it though because I can't put this on the web if it's going to crash people's browsers! ?

Hi I am new to gsap. I am building my first animation which will have a few moving parts. I have made a rainbow from an arc and a gradient. The idea was that the rainbow will burst (using scale) and as it flies past the logo text, the text will fade in. The other main part of the animation is the central flower will bloom from a bud into the finished logo shape, (I haven't animated that yet so the codepen is just dealing with the rainbow and the text). So the animation as it is will work in Chrome or IE11, but not in firefox. If you uncomment out the code at the bottom the animation will play, but don't do that if you are using Firefox as it will crash your tab, at least that is what is happening for me. I was hoping some of you experts could have a look and let me know if you have any suggestions whatsoever. Am I doing this right and the problem is likely to be with firefox or have I made a complete mess of this? I can't believe it works in IE11 but not firefox! I did submit a crash report with some comments, but obviously I still need to get this working somehow. Any help whatsoever would be appreciated!!
