I have other issues with firefox, namely that if you have more than say 7
or 8 tabs open it periodically takes 100% of the cpu.
If it is a *i686 system*, there is a problem of lacking of optimization.
At
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/xsoft/firefox.html
you have a newer version (there is another one newer than that, but
changes were not for Linux.
There, you will find new instructions, in order to obtain optimization,
and then a much faster and smaller firefox, which does not stall at 100%
of the CPU.
Essentially, if you update gcc to 4.9.2, all optimization can be used.
Otherwise, some improvement can be obtained with
test $(uname -m) = "i686" && sed -i 's/enable-optimize/&=-O2/' mozconfig
|| true
I've told Christopher about that. It has been discussed in the dev list.
I've upgraded gcc to that version in the two machines I use mostly.
I have a question about how to upgrade gcc.
In building LFS you first build a temporary system
of tools, including gcc, and then use those tools
to build the rest of the software. If I want to
upgrade gcc, does that mean I have to start all
over again from "scratch" and build LFS again?
Or can I just update gcc and use it to compile
firefox, without re-compiling other packages?
