7 Views $variables/$views/$fields crashing browser Any of following codes in views-view-fields--MYVIEW.tpl.php make my browser unresponsive:

&lt;?php kpr( $variables ); ?&gt;

&lt;?php kpr( $fields ); ?&gt;

&lt;?php kpr( $view ); ?&gt;


I get the FireFox message: 


  A webpage is slowing down your browser. What would you like to do? Stop it. Wait.


If I select wait in hangs indefinitely but if I select stop I can see the output though I have to scan through the source-code. I can use other variables kpr($row) works for example.

I had similar results in Chrome.

How do I troubleshoot this?
Instead of using kpr or devel or the like, switch to using a debugger like xdebug. Sometimes these arrays are so large that simply rendering them in the browser can crash it. This happened to me all the time with Drupal 8 and kint.
