I used PrefBar to disable Java Script and it worked. Only about 300MB of
memory used after being on those two sites all night. However, this is
not an ideal solution. The next webpage I went to, my Comcast email
account, requires Java Script to be turned on.
Is there a setting to disable Java Script only on particular websites?
Thanks!

I'm running SM 2.46 under Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. I also have Firefox 54.0 and
MS Edge. I much prefer SM over the other browsers.
When bad weather is in the area, I leave SM running with two tabs open. The
first is our local weather radar at radar.weather.gov and the other is the
hourly forecast at weather.com
Within minutes, both SM and FF are using over 500MB of memory. After a couple
of hours, SM is using over 3GB! (I have 16GB installed on the system, and I
haven't left FF running this long to see how much memory it would eventually
use.) With this much memory usage, SM frequently becomes unresponsive for
minutes at a time and sometimes totally crashes.
Under the same conditions, MS Edge is only using about 23MB of memory!
Is there a solution to this issue for SM? Thanks!
Using an ad blocker might help. I had problems yesterday on
radiotimes.com but it seemed to be a Sky advert loading which caused all
the swapping.
(I am using linux, seamonkey 2.49.1, firefox 52.2.0)
I doubt that a U.S. government Web site contains advertisements. My
experience is that bad JavaScript in the Web pages is causing the
problem. If you can still get the results you need without it, disable
JavaScript to see if that helps.
