Steve's problem sounds like a Xorg/Wayland graphics issue/bug that firefox somehow triggers. My firefox has acted off for a while. Typically is it seems to get bogged down using a lot of ram (2-10GB for at least one firefox process), but more recently I don't see the big memory usage but it seems to go cpu bound and non-responsive in some tabs (reddit usually). On the high ram usage killing the specific process in about:performance fixes that, but the only fix for the cpu bound/nonresponding seems to be to exit all of firefox and restart. Firefox needs to stop working on new features and simply get it stable. And I had most of the exact same issues on windows 11, so this is not a code issue specific to Linux. I have multiple web sites that seem to be able to make one or more tabs consume GB's of ram. The websites causing the ram issue were the same on both Windows and Linux.

After rock solid operation for a long time, in the last 2 or 3 weeks the UI has been fouling up every day or two when I do some seemingly mundane operation in Firefox. A couple of times Firefox has crashed after a few seconds. The foul ups sometimes only affect the Firefox windows, and other windows still work OK. Sometimes the whole desktop fouls up, and I have to switch to a text only screen and kill Firefox. That restores normal desktop operation for all the other windows. > > > > Steve > > I don't know if it's related or not, but yesterday evening on my workstation (f39, gnome) Firefox was maxing out one cpu for minutes. I exited Firefox. The maxing out of a cpu continued. ksysguard showed a Firefox process at the top of the process list (sorted by cpu usage), even long after exiting Firefox. I had to kill that process manually. This all repeated a second time. Also curious, I saw a several processes with names containing "akonadi" and strings relating to e-mail/calendar. After exiting Firefox again and exiting Thunderbird, the maxing out of a cpu stopped and has not since recurred, though I see 19 different akonadi processes now in a "ps" output. Firefox is the only browser I use, and Thunderbird is the only e-mail client and calendar that I use. I do not access e-mail via browser. > > Are my problems and Steve's related and/or connected? > -- > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
