Hi All,
I have been having a problem with Firefox. It keeps stopping on me. I don't
think it locks up as sometimes it continues on after a while but mostly this is
between 20 minutes and an hour.
I have removed and reinstalled it several times but still have the problem.
I became frustrated and installed Chrome which works well for everything except embedded videos and youtube. When I ask it to play either it usually starts the audio three (3) times with about a
second delay between them. It is as though it is starting up several occasions of a player with only one visible.
Has anyone else had this problem and, perhaps, solved it?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
This is a long shot, but I'll throw in my experience with similar behaviour
years
ago.
My display would freeze once in a while running Linux and X. Drove me batty. I
searched
the web for a solution and found that the video driver for my specific display
did have a
timing loop bug in a race condition that could cause a random freeze.
I suggest you search the web for problems associated with the specific display
(by model
number) that you are using to see if there are similar complaints. And perhaps
a driver
update or configuration change to your X Window may solve the problem.
cheers
