Firefox 1.0.6 Mandriva LE 2005 hanging

HoOLi · 09-07-2005, 07:17 AM

Greetings,

I am wondering if any other users are experiencing Firefox 1.0.6 hanging after a period of time?

It 'feels' as if there is a memory leak and FF becomes unresponsive if left for 15 minutes + with multiple tabs open.

What I am experiencing, is to forcibly close the app down altogether - and I am (unfortunately) able to verify this on different boxes, with different hardware - but same distribution (LE2005).

Cheers

Run it from a console,
and then see what output it gives and get back to me with it.
Note: it might be a lot; if it is ridiculous, then post what you
think is relevant!

Have you monitored you memory usage?

Riddick!

I having similar problems on 1 of four systems. So is a memory lead? I doubt it because it would be happing on all systems. Even on the same system it happen to only one of the accounts. Question did you upgrade after have a lot of plugins? Some old plugins arn't supposed to work on the latest version.

Riddick,
Thanks for your console suggestion - I am embarrassed that I had forgotten such a basic diagnostic - since Linux is soo useable as a desktop nowadays :-)

courtrrb,
from the console a stale group perm - as a result of upgrades lingered.

I chmod 'd on all boxes and now I don't experience problems.
