I'm running 13.2 (x64) with Firefox 38.0.1 from SuSE. I frequently run into sites that causes FF to just hang for several seconds (10-30). My wifes box, running the same stuff has recently had the same issue. She notices it mostly when she is on her banks web site. She contacted her bank and they said it was a known issue with all versions of FF higher than 36.x.x. That does make me believe what we are seeing is NOT really a SuSE Linux FF issue but even FF higher than 36.0.0 on MS OS.
Has anyone any knowledge of this issue?
I don't have any knowledge about it. I also do not see that issue. Yes, there are a (very) few sites who make some strange use of JS where Firefox sometimes is lagging like hell. Interestingly all the sites I know are from Google services and are optimized for Chrome. (getting off-topic:) I'm wondering if there is some intention behind it or they just don't care about other browsers. Reminds me about IE back a few years ago. :-(
10-30 seconds is really a long time. Would be interesting if you could dig up some publically available example to check specifically what's so heavy there.
Easy enough to check, if a bit tedious. Get the URL and do repeats of timed 'wget' for all the components, the CSS, the javascript. You might check headings to see if they have pragmas, cache control, forwards, proxies and other headers. Oh, and DNS lags. The javascript might need to execute before the page displays; some of it might be testing your display device & its capabilities. Not the smartest way to decide how to do a layout of which CSS to use. BTDT a couple of times but can't say I find such 'mining' gratifying. All it tells me is that some web site designers are smarter than others and there's no joy or profit in telling site owners that their implementation sucks. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
