I can see that for Firefox, but not Seamonkey. I use Seamonkey much more than Firefox.
I keep the following open virtually 24/7 in one single core 32 bit 11.4/KDE3 session: FF 2.0.0.20 from mozilla.org on desktop 6 FF 3.6.28 from openSUSE Mozilla Legacy repo on desktop 5 FF 12.x from mozilla.org on desktop 4 SM 2.9.1 from openSUSE Mozilla repo on desktop 4 SM 2.10.x from mozilla.org on desktop 1 My browser windows rarely have fewer than 12 open tabs. Upwards of 20 is more typical. 2.10.x currently has about 35, and doesn't often dip below that number. Most Flash content seems designed for use on 640x480 displays. On high DPI displays, making Flash objects big enough to see anything typically produces serious ugliness. Thus I limit exposure to Flash in various ways. In 2.9.1 I normally don't open any pages that I know or expect contain Flash. I use this in SM 2.9.1's userContent.css: "embed[type="application/x-shockwave-flash"] {display: none !important; visibility: hidden !important;}". Thus what few Flash containing pages do get opened in 2.9.1 mostly won't display any Flash content. 2.0.0.20, 12.x & 2.10.x, un-bzip'd to /usr/local, haven't been instructed where to find the Flash plugin. So, normally only 3.6.28 has plugin-containe consuming cycles and RAM. Minimized to taskbar with a non-Flash tab focused the Flash overhead seems reduced to a fairly nominal 1%-2% CPU & .7% of RAM even though several up to 8 or 10 tabs might contain some Flash at any given time. I've never installed or used "Flashblock", have 4G RAM, keep swap turned off, and rarely see objectionable slowness. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
