uninterruptable sleep.
Any suggestions on how to deal?
I often have a lot of tabs open,
so discovering the right one was hard enough before.
Usually, it was something relatively new, so that helped.
Not so much anymore.
I think a lot of it is just waiting (D) for ads or running them.
Closing and reopening sometimes works,
but then I have to go find all the video ads and stop
them one at a time.
I had that problem... and yes, it was some site's page with wild or
outright broken javascript. Installed NoScript, a Firefox add-on, and
using that, severely limit what javascript can run. Since then I've been
good.
