[opensuse-factory] Bad Firefox

Also at factory - rpm -qa says I have MozillaFirefox-2.9.95-22 on *both* systems. One system works just fine - AMD Athlon 2400, 1G RAM On the other system, firefox *does* run, but grindingly slowly, eating most CPU resources. Also it continues to run (task persists, still with high CPU) for several minutes after exit. This system is AMD K6-2/500 with 784M RAM confused? Yes, so am I. -- Cheers Richard (MQ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I tried gdb firefox, but got nothing but no debugging symbols found messages and exit 1.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get Factory's Firefox 3 to work?
This has happened again, but on a different machine. Any ideas? :~( -- "Where were you when I laid the earth's foudation?" Matthew 7:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Usually I see that happening if a Firefox process is still running but probably stopped or dead. Hard to analyze remotely though and I never saw it myself under other occasions.
