It's a shame. well they are a commercial company now :-( But with uBlock it is still a pleasure to use it and it seems to be faster and more stable.

bapak Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 What annoys me the most is that went it fails there is a notice from Mozilla asking if I want Mozilla to learn of this and do I want them to responds. Over the past week I repeated asked them to respond but nary a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I've found issues when firefox consumes around 2 GB of RAM, it's fine before it gets to about the 2GB mark. I have 32 GB of RAM in my main computer so 2 GB should be no issue at all. I occasionally get a black page inside the browser, in fact this happened yesterday. I leave my computer turned on all the time and the browser will never be closed unless this 'black page' issue happens. This memory bloat is obviously due to memory leaks. Terminating the process in task manager and restarting fixes it every time for me so it might be unrelated to your issue but I have also disabled Flash which probably isn't a bad thing as it's behind of a lot of security issues from what I've heard. So for me firefox has issues when memory consumption reaches 2GB or more, right now it's working perfectly with about 1GB consumed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Same for me with Firefox recently. After a using it for a while, it uses up too much memory and CPU goes to 50%. Have to periodically restart to fix it. Suppose it could be a dodgy extension though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to periodically restart to fix it. Suppose it could be a dodgy extension though. I disabled every extension and add on in Firefox months ago and it still happens to me. If I want to use youtube I switch to Chrome, no biggie I guess. Firefox sucks these days. I did investigate this some time ago and I believe it's a long standing issue (years) related to memory leaks in Firefox itself, so it's just bad programming on a crappy old system maintained by idiots.

bapak Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Refreshed as suggested by Mozilla. Now I get the infamous rotating circleon my Desktop. Only way to stop, is to reboot. But on starting Mozilla, problem starts all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
