Hi everyone; Tonight Firefox (9.0.1) under OS 12.1 won't open.
Well I have a similar but different problem with FF 9.x that could be classed as "won't open", but has nothing to do with that error message or corrupt files. I usually have many (anywhere from 10 to 40) tabs open and FF set to restore the previous session when starting. But with 9.x this seem to take forever, as in "won't open". FF starts and I get the KDE border, the title bar and the minimise/maximise/close buttons on top right but the frame doesn't fill. I wait and wait and wait. This is on a full-screen window but a less than full screen makes no difference. I wait and wait, and if I flip to another virtual screen and back I think I have to start waiting from the beginning again. It seems to take anywhere from 8 minutes to 20 minutes - yes I've timed it - before the page renders. I don't think this has anything to do with network speeds. When a page is up and I try scrolling I get no response and wait and wait. I haven't timed this part of it, but it seems only a few minutes. If I try moving to another tab its wait, wait, wait all over again. In despair I tried rolling back and ended up with FF 4.0.1 - what happened to the inbetweens? - and that is responsive and fast on all operations. Yes, this is under KDE4.7 and 11.4 on a 32-bit machine. Can anyone advise why this dramatically anomalous behaviour with 9.0.1 occurs? -- Dear Lord: Please make my words sweet and tender, for tomorrow I may have to eat them. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
