Java hasn't worked in linux since ver 35 I think, it just broke for
everyone else recently.
I for one embrace the death of java as much as flash, both are terrible
examples of necessary evils before, and now just a relic of the past
that needs to die. This was one thing I applauded apple for when they
declined to support flash anymore. Adobe and that little cartel needed
to die off eventually, here's hoping java is next.
What does suck is "enterprise" application dependence on java, as it's
been taught for 15 years, produced an army of usually bad developers,
and ignorant software vendors actually believed it was "platform
independent". As long as you always ran jre6.42release3, not release 2
or 4. I've never seen any client that actually works right under linux
with a correct version or not, another reason I end up keeping my dumb
xp vm around with various customer environments.
I dread any java client usage, it is simply destined to fail. If a
vendor tries to sell me one, I laugh mockingly and decline, asking when
they intend to join the 21st century.
There aren't a lot of classes and degrees to reform^H^H^H^Heducate
people in modern languages to escape entrenchment of crap like java and
microsoft languages either, uop and other crackhead colleges don't
bother without microsoft or oracle schilling them. Old habits, and
crusty developers die hard, but I suppose they need to eat too, and they
hang out with the as400 guys and commiserate about that cloud thing.

I don't notice firefox any slower than chromium, at least not until

I've simply had to start using firefox, chrome/chromium literally
destroy my system now using it to the point it'll about destabilize
my system within a day. Plus, I'm finding more and more sites simply
(again) don't work with chrome that forces me to use firefox that
does. It's like some resurgence of asp.net sites, or otherwise
shitty web code chrome simply doesn't tolerate.
Sadly use of chrome is beginning to make ubuntu almost unusable for
me, for no lack of trying, I cannot figure out why. Chrome and
chromium continue to chew up some apparently indescribable limit I'm
hitting that nothing logs or errors to the point I can't even wake it
up after dpms shuts off my display, without them I'm fine, hard
killing all chrome pids helps, but eventually once launching it, it's
a countdown to destruction. I'm about rebooting my system every few
days, starting to feel like windows 98 again.
I really start to wonder what I'm doing wrong that no one else is
doing, aside from apparently actually using linux to it's
capabilities as a desktop, and well beyond.

Is it just me or is Firefox slowing down worse all the time?
Is there anything (new) that can be done to speed it up?
I've made all the changes in about:config that I know to make.
Or ... is the problem (also) my computer?
Is there some way to clear memory other than to have to reboot?
Day by day, everything just seems to get slower and slower
until I finally give up and reboot and then things work
a lot better (just for a while).
I'm using Linux Mint.
