Hello list,
Sadly, I'm pretty much disappointed with both web browser installed on
my system: konqueror and firefox.
Konqueror: very stable indeed, but it couldn't be at another way since
it's a key piece of the KDE environment... The problem comes when I want
to fill in forms (you know... web pages for registering, etc.). It stops
many times without giving us an alert message or some kind of
explanation, so you have to deduce that the problem is not from the
website, but the browser instead.
I don't know whether problems come from java or whatever..., I've
checked my konqueror preferences and I'd bet they are all OK..
firefox: Here the problem is very very annoying, I've run firefox before
with many other Linux flavours and never..., never got to this status of
inability; once you've got about six tabs opened on the same frame
window, firefox gets close to hang, and you become unable to manage it
anymore, unless you have an infinite patience. Doing "top" from a CLI
shows a %CPU _over_ 100%, amazing!. At the end, you'll have to kill the
process from console.
I don't know, either, why firefox gets to this status; preferences are
as usual, etc. Maybe the problem roots from the flags when compiling,
but I haven't received any message from the system, IIRC... Is there any
flag wrong on my system?
This is my /etc/conf.d:
~ # more /etc/make.conf
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that
automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example.
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
