Re: Firefox Crashes; slow xfce

Unless your current user is in the daemon login class (which is unlikely), it shouldn't. Have a look to the manual page of login.conf(5) to understand how it works. When you edit your login.conf, you have to login again for your modifications to take effect. It may explain a difference between the

I just switched to fvwm this morning and it's night-and-day faster than xfce. Hard to believe it's the same computer. I'm going to have to spend some quality time with the fvwm manpage because I've never used it much beyond launching xterm to install another window manager :) On Mon, Apr 18,

Your nofiles(descriptors) may be too low. You should consider increasing it to 512 or more The weird thing is it doesn't match the "openfiles-cur" of your default login class (2048, according to your first email). Le 04/20/16 16:41, Daniel Boyd a écrit : > $ ulimit -a > time(cpu-seconds)

Re: Firefox Crashes; slow xfce

I was OK with the performance in Firefox (though it was pretty slow). What was *really* bothering me was the crashing. Does 'noscript' solve that as well? I'm currently trying out xombrero and vimb. I feel like vimb might be a bit faster, but it doesn't recognize the Gmail composing text area

After migrating from Linux to OpenBSD on my desktop performance was really bad inside Firefox and Chromium in 5.9 specially on big websites like gmail. It was not usable, on an 4 core machine and with 16GB of RAM. After migrating to -current, they have become usable. If it is possible try to use

Re: Firefox Crashes; slow xfce

I have also had problems with Firefox performance with OpenBSD (it's not a speed demon with Linux or FreeBSD, but it is faster on those systems). And I haven't found Chromium to be a good alternative -- too many crashes and "Oh, snap"s. But my experience with Firefox is that the problem is easily

Re: Firefox Crashes; slow xfce

For what it's worth, Firefox may be quite usable even on an old config when you add plugins limiting javascript usage such as : - RequestPolicy - Noscript I use it daily on an 11 years old computer and prefere it over xombrero because of the following issues : -

I don't have any problems with Firefox on -current with Fvwm2. I switched to Fvwm because Xfce was getting unmanageable. After about a week when I got my config just right it is much easier and faster than Xfce just not as pretty. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 18, 2016, at 3:13 PM, Daniel Boyd

I think the problem is with firefox itself. tedu@ wrote a post about this: http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/firefox-vs-rthreads Since the code is so bloated, no one will ever waste time trying to fix all the issues. Just switch to some other browser, there's plenty of options. I'm using Links

I have noticed a pattern lately. When I open LibreOffice or Evince, Firefox crashes -- like pretty regularly. I switched from using Calc to Gnumeric and that has helped some, but having my browser crash 10-15 times a day is not good for productivity. I've been using OpenBSD (first 5.8 and now
