For quite some time, and across a couple versions of OpenSuse (13.1 currently) I've had terrible problems with Firefox. It displays the usual memory leak problems that programs often show, getting slower and slower until it becomes unresponsive until I kill it and restart. Sometimes it happens within minutes of restarting, so I think it's related to whatever technology the web pages are using. I just did one of those FaceBook polls where you select radio buttons, and that one stopped Firefox dead in it's tracks.
I have no problems with firefox since years. Do you have ADD-ONs installed? If you delete them, do you have the same problems?
Over the past year, I've upgraded Firefox through official channels. Is there any recommendation for a version that works?

Add-ins is a good bet. I'll disable and report back. It may take a while because of the nature of memory problems. One problem with add-ins is that often websites I need won't run without them.
I'm running 26 and haven't been able to find any newer packages to install.
