I'm going to say something but not sure if it would be seen as a hijacking of the thread, if so, let me know and I'll take it to another thread. I use firefox too and I have never adjusted my datasize yet, never needed too. There is only a few websites that crash it and I don't usually visit those. However I have a different problem. I use firefox over ssh to another user on the same system. I do this because I don't want a would-be attacker to get to sensitive files such as my ssh keys. Now this setup runs pretty good, except at one point and perhaps someone can look into this for me. When I control-f for searching a website and enter 3 characters the browser crashes. However it doesn't happen always and it never happens when I run firefox as my own user. Another drawback to my using another user to sandbox firefox is that I cannot copy-paste from browser to another window, not sure if that is related. Anyhow for memory I'm set with 32 GB so that's not the problem in this system. Sincerely, -peter
