 Posted: Sun Jan 18, 2009 1:27 am Post subject: [SOLVED] firefox 3.0.5 sluggish / crashes |
 |
|
Crashes occurred earlier this morning but not now. I tried to load www.meebo.com but the browser crashed before the page loaded.
I tried starting Firefox in a terminal with like:
| Code: |
~ $ firefox -jsconsole
**
** Gtk:ERROR:(gtkplug.c:182):gtk_plug_set_is_child: assertion failed: (!GTK_WIDGET (plug)->parent)
Aborted
|
I've also noticed scrolling happens slow. One site I can name is www.seek.com.au. Dragging the scroll bar or hitting "Page dn" results in a delay before anything happens. On the rare occasion the browser had crashed. I have also noticed the CPU getting very busy on pages with flash animation. I'm not sure if this is a normal thing.
Some specs of my system...
installed:
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.15
sys-libs/glibc-2.6.1
gcc = i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2
x11-libs/gtk+-2.12.11
...please let me know if there are any others you'd want listed to help with this problem.
revdep-rebuild executed without broken packages/links
more info by request...
I thought I'd ask here first beofre posting to Firefox's forums.
thanks.

Maybe flashplayer crashed?

I have upgraded from flash for linux v9 to v10, and so far so good. I'll keep testing the browser for a few days before reposting this issue as resolved.
Thanks smerf. |

I tested both sites with same version of firefox and flash 10.0.15.3, rest is more or less similiar
(older nvidia-drivers/newer GTK+ 2.14.5). No crashing, flash runs slow, but this is nothing unusual
on my old machine (over 4-5 yrs). Have you tried debugging/stracing or auditing firefox? I know,
that in case of such application it is like searching needle in a haystack, but may give us some hints.

I haven't gone that far into debugging the problem. I thought I'd update the flash plugin first, and so far the browser hasn't crashed yet.
For now I'll say it's solved but will try an strace if things go buggy again. Thanks again for your help. |
