This could actually be something Linux is doing relating to the usage of
memory, because I have seen the exact same issue occur with other web
browsers, not just SeaMonkey. After a while, the Swap partition becomes
active, then there is a noticeable slowdown of the system.
Which Fedora Supplied package and which o/s distro, version?
On Linux, you should quickly be able to see who is using what, for
example using "System Monitor" and then go to "Processes", sort by
Memory with highest at the top.
You should see SeaMonkey at abnout 300MiB
Note the value from a cold start, then time how long before it reaches
the value that you are concerned about.
It's unlikely listening to music would cause this, but the word
"youtube" rings alarm bells as it's not "music", it's running hundreds
of horrible JavaScripts launching hundreds of adverts and attacking your
computer.
If you think it's music, trace the URL to the real music file (or
stream) and run the same test again (outside of youtube).
I didn't even know youtube had music, I thought it was video.
