If so, then is there a way to disable it?

SM 2.1 (ETA next week) will support all accelerations Firefox 4
supports, i.e. D2D, D3D etc. but you can easily disable them all via
Preferences. AFAIK SM 2.0 has none of these.

Ah cool! I hope it is by the long Memorial Day weekend so I can play with it! ;)


I am trying to figure out why I get very rare and random hard lock
ups when multitasking with SeaMonkey v2.0.x (usually have over 20
tabs going) and watching videos.

If your browser locks up, it might be any of these:
- Memory leak in the application code. Not much you can do there other
than upgrading.
- Faulty add-ons. Try disabling some.
- Faulty plugins. Try removing some (in SM 2.1 you can just disable
them, and if Flash crashes, it won't take down SeaMonkey anymore).
- MailNews checks news in the background. Rare but known issue; try
disabling automatic check of newsgroups.

Thanks Jens on the confirmation SM2's video acceleration. When I meant lock up, I meant my PC/Windows and not the web browser. :) And yes, SM2 leaks a lot with all my tabs, addons, etc. Like right now, it is using over 500 MB of memory.
