I wonder if there is a memory issue? This particular desktop is nine
years old, runs Linux exclusively and has 3.6Gb of memory, using LXDE
desktop.
Yes, current stable SeaMonkey (old Gecko engine) leaks and hogs a lot
due to many bloated web sites like LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Google
Maps, etc. :(
I have seen Seamonkey exceed 2 GB on a relatively new Win 64 machine
with 16 GB of RAM and an SSD drive, especially if I've used Seamonkey
all day, and then forget to shut down overnight. Even though I do a lot
with NoScript, I suspect the primary culprit being script-heavy sites. I
also have a lot of filters for mail handling.
However, since I upgraded to 2.53.3, I have noticed minimal
memory/performance issues, even after leaving things active overnight.
I don't know if it's that I haven't been in the condition of active
all/day use and left active overnight, or that 2.53.3 is better on
memory handling, or what...
I also use Seamonkey on a desktop Linux box of unknown vintage. I bought
the base configuration about 11 years ago, and the original
configuration was with an AMD Athlon processor. I just upgraded the
motherboard and case when the motherboard failed, where the CPU is a
little more recent AMD, but definitely older than anything Ryzen.
This machine has 8 GB of RAM, and I don't use the browser heavily, but
I've never seen memory issues there.
