Hi All,
This one has me really pulling my hair out. It started a couple of updates back and it hasn't improved since. I can be left waiting several seconds, up to 20 or 30 seconds or even more, when I close tabs, open new tabs, open new windows and close those windows. Because I keep several logged in sessions going at once and I 'context switch' like this many, many times throughout the day, these delays are badly impacting my work. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't added anything new to the mix, just installed the normal updates. I'd appreciate any pointers or ideas that you may care to share.
I, too, have raised this in the past. I commented that some ebay items were particularly pernicious. I thought that disabling flash would help. it did - except for those sites!
See previous threads on this.
Hi All, The primary culprit was the video download helper add-on. The second is Firefox, itself, as it doesn't appear to release memory when tabs or windows are closed. None of the other extensions / add-ons had any effect at all. After uninstalling the video download helper, as long as I shut down and restart Firefox at the first sign of trouble, I can pretty much get through my work day without the system swapping.
