I've been having lots of Firefox crashes. I am running Firefox from ports (v 39.0.3) on amd64 5.8 -stable.
I increased my limits in login.conf. I have tried a few different combinations, but this is what I'm doing currently: $ getcap -f /etc/login.conf staff staff:datasize-cur=3500M:datasize-max=infinity:maxproc-max=512:maxproc-cur=256:ignorenologin:requirehome@:path=/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin:umask=022:datasize-max=512M:datasize-cur=512M:maxproc-max=256:maxproc-cur=128:openfiles-cur=2048:stacksize-cur=4M:localcipher=blowfish,8:ypcipher=old:auth=passwd,skey:auth-ftp=passwd: My computer has 12 GB of physical RAM, so I don't figure I need to be terribly conservative with datasize rates. Meanwhile, I've been monitoring 'top' and this is pretty typical for Firefox: PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE WAIT TIME CPU COMMAND 3188 danboyd 30 0 666M 689M onproc - 3:41 16.46% firefox I don't have a super high number of tabs open either. I had a bunch open this morning, but I closed most of them in an attempt to ward of the crashes. I have had 7 or 8 crashes in the last hour... Among the tabs open, I do have two pinned tabs running gmail (work email, personal email), and I assume those are relatively resource intensive. Another odd thing is that I've noticed that Firefox virtually never crashes when it's the active window. It always seems to be in the background. Anyway, any help would be much appreciated. I have a core dump if that would be of any use... Daniel
