Hi! > I'll probably regret opening this potential can of worms, but I find these > reports of instability in Firefox surprising. Well, I have quite a few issues with firefox already. - The annoying 'pocket' icon which needs to be removed in every new profile and other similar 'options' - strange behaviour in input fields etc. - annoying question if one wants to refresh firefox - and crashes So I'm using palemoon as fallback browser, which has other issues. Not the least the removal due to security issues from the ports tree. I still build it, and it still builds 8-} > Possibilities include hardware, especially graphics, web sites visited, and > Firefox configuration.

My desktops have plenty of resources (32 or 64 GB RAM, lots of CPU), still: Issues pop up eventually. I also have approx. 6-10 different browsers running at the same time (for different profiles and contexts), sometimes with around 100+ tabs each. I have used it on different systems, with different FreeBSD versions (11.2, 12.0), still: The browser situation is messy and gets messier by the day. -- pi@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 One year to go !
