I have been having problems with Mozilla 1.5, it was the same with 1.4, and SuSE 8.2. After browsing the internet for a couple of hours, it will get very slow and then will freeze. I kill it and reopen, it is OK for awhile. Also have had this happen in WinXP using same versions. Any idea what could be the problem? Art

Do you have your cache size set really high? If so, then it's possible that Mozilla is starting to swap, I had similar problems till I reduced my cache size (I set it to 1M, you may not want to be so hardcore...) James On Wed, 2003-10-22 at 01:14, Art Fore wrote:

If he is running a proxy (squid or similar) then Mozilla should perhaps
not have any cache set at all. I find it useful at home to run a proxy
and then not let the browsers cache anything as over all, it reduces the
disk usage.
Just my two pennies worth. ;-)

I am not running proxy. How do you change the cache size though and I will try reducing it? Art Anders Karlsson wrote:

This seems to have worked in Windows this week. Haven't had it crash a single time. Will try it at home this weekend in Linux. Art James Ogley wrote:
