Re: [PLUG] Firefox crashes with lots of tabs open
|
I have had trouble with FF running up CPU as well. I find that it gets
worse the *longer* I have specific tabs open. That is, if I leave a
certain tab open for a while, it makes trouble, especially between
sessions. It doesn't matter if the page has a long history or no
history, it seems to be the lifetime of a tab.
The other issue is that FF won't exit properly. That is to say that
the process still hangs around running up the CPU after I've told it
to close. Eventually I have to politely nudge it with kill but when I
restart, it doesn't register that it was shutdown incorrectly. This
leads me to believe that it does all of the requires shutdown
housekeeping but something is wrong in the core that keeps it going.
Any ideas? Has anyone had success locating a bug report for symptoms
discussed in this thread? I tried bugzilla.mozilla.org and it didn't
have much luck at all.
