Is it just me, or are other folks experiencing frequent hangs in the

It seems like half the web pages I visit these days lead to spinning
beachballs, 100% machine load, and often, the need to force quit and
restart.

See my message "SeaMonkey and Yahoo" in this same newsgroup. The
problem seemed to disappear this afternoon.
I'm running SM 2.33.1 and never have lockups or freeze. I have an old
Latitude E6400 with 2GB RAM and NVidia 160M. Not exactly modern but
not slow. What SM are you running? Have you defragged lately? Have you
done a Checkdisk lately?
User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:36.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0 SeaMonkey/2.33.1
Build identifier: 20150321205436
Defrag - no; generally not something one does on Macs. Checkdisk, no
(good idea, will do it), smart diagnostics, yes - the disk seems to be
healthy.
Having done a search of my postings here, I have had this problem since
at least September 2013. I run Seamonkey under Linux and under Windows
but afaik this problem only affects Linux. Of course I have a
process-monitor running under Linux so maybe I would not notice if it
happened under Windows.
My machines all have at least two cores so Seamonkey is still
responsive. Closing browser windows, tabs, anything else makes no
difference once the loop has started - in the end Seamonkey has two
processes left:
- /usr/bin/seamonkey
- /usr/lib64/seamonkey/seamonkey-bin
The second one is running one processor at 100% and that is the one I
have to kill.
If I do not kill it,
- I can't restart Seamonkey in that session
- Seamonkey restarts automatically on a new session.
Unfortunately opensuse build Seamonkey with the --disable-crashreporter
(and --disable-debug) flags, otherwise looking at the crash-report would
possibly indicate what it thought it was doing at the time.
