Not practical. I have 5 or 6 windows with 10-15 tabs each open all the time. Trying a new profile, and then opening all the windows by hand, trying one extension at a time until maybe Firefox disappears again possibly (when, until recently, it had not done it at all)... Not practical. If I had just added a new add-on, maybe that could have been it. I have added nothing for months. I strongly suspect that it has something to do with FF running out of memory, feeling cornered, and throwing in the towel.
I have eliminated the grey screens and have had no disappearing FF for over a week now, by using the following technique: 1. plug in internet cable (so computer can grab the time from the internet) 2. Boot computer 3. unplug internet cable 4. start up Firefox, and run it for, say, 5 minutes - until it has put up all windows/tabs, and has stopped futilely trying to load pages without the internet 5. plug in internet cable again 6. load up only those pages I actually need at the moment. I know by position where most of those are, and the rest I can see by clicking on the tab and looking at the address bar or at the first line of FF's "Problem loading page" sub-window for the tab. Instead of taking up nearly 100% CPU and 80+% actual memory (1GB), its CPU usage is now about 25%, and its RES mem usage is about 25% (261M). Much quicker and more managable. -- Firefox suddenly disappears several times lately - 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592597 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
