Well, no more crashes so far. Go figure. I will watch it, though.
Since yesterday night, the machine is running Thunderbird, Firefox, Chrome, and Kodi, no issues. Perfectly responsive with that large load.
Sorry for being late to the thread. I've had quite similar problems several times in the past, found them to be due to specific web pages, probably running bad javascript. When I close the offending webpage, the problem goes away.
That makes perfect sense to me. I've very heavily pruned my list of tabs in FF, even the 'not open' pages. Things are better now :-) Can JavaScript run even if you don't open the tab?
For a long time I've been using a Firefox add-in called NoScript. It allows me to turn on/off specific URLs from which scripts are delivered. It's a nice app, but would be much better if it had some intelligence to detect when a script was devouring RAM and at least flash a notice of the (potential) problem.
Ah. If I knew the pages, and hence the web site, I could (a) not go there and (b) point the problem out to the webmaster. If .. If .. If ... If Dream on!
As it is, that task is left to the user... and it's no trivial exercise.
Can you get concussion from hypothetically banging you head against a cybernetic wall? Punch-drunk and irrational? Like boxers or or ice-hockey players and American Rules Football before they introduced helmets. Working for some managers is like that too; you feel like all you are doing is banging your head against a brick wall. You could probably get the same effect trying to get the webmaster to fix his JavaScript.
... Javascript coders should test their stuff better before they loose it on the public, as should web developers.
If .. If .. If ... If Dream on! I had hoped that the Chromium model of one process per page would make this sort of thing more visible. But lets see, my FF has about 100 tabs (down from about 400 last month) and maybe a dozen are active and I've stepped though open/close over a dozed so far this morning checking our links and URLs and Google and Wikipedia searches. If I tried converting from FF to Chromium my machine would grind to a halt, load factor go up to three digits. BTDT. Did it twice since the first time might have been an anomaly. Does Chromium try opening EVERYTHING while FF doesn't? It seems so. But Chromium handles some pages quite differently. If I visit Walmart.ca with FF I can't see prices, but I can if I use chromium. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
