FirefFox feedback

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ian B Manners:
My comments are for FF 38.2.1 and latest AOO. Both have DLL's marked loadhi.

I only have VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=1536 in my main OS/2 box, which is getting a solid workout with University assignments and other work at present. FF and AOO are both running fine under load, AOO gets the biggest workout as I'm darting into various documents and spreadsheets but I do turn my computer off everynight.

I'm using many uni related websites for quizz's, unit management, tuts etc, as well as my normal comic/news/security sites all without problem.

The only problem I have noticed is related to LinkedIn, were if I scroll down a lengthy page if goes into a 100% load but will after a few minutes give me a 'Script Busy, end or continue' type message. I normally kill FF as it's quicker and restart it.

I don't use YUM but manually update dll's from rpm/zip files as required.
If I need to go yum then I think it would be easier with a clean OS/2 install, this main OS/2 install of mine was installed in the early 90's and has simply been xcopied over the years to new harddisks as I've upgraded my hardware so it's customised the way I like it. With the O/S upgraded as new drivers etc have arrived.

Unfortunately I have also discovered that the only browser that works with everything is Chrome. Sometimes I have to boot a linux box for some uni related websites, though I have noted they are only some UWA's Business school related websites, everything else from engineering/science/admin works fine under FF.

Did you read the README.OS2 file ?

I think I'm suffering documentation fatigue at the moment, trying to master about 20 or more applications on different platforms...

But having looked at the above I noticed:-

https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2/wiki

which tells me that there has been a refresh of the latest FF beta which I wasn't aware of, and which I've now installed.

Dave Yeo:
The new release is only a few hours old so most are not aware.

Have you installed exceptq along with the dbg files? If so are you getting trp files in your program directory?
Did you mark the DLLs to load high?
There is an issue tracker at Github if you want to file a bug report

I only managed to get the current version working recently, and have been using it rather than trying to debug it.

I'm still in the process of trying to configure and stabilise my system which may take a while yet. I'll go through the docs for FF and make sure I'm running it optimally before raising any specific issues.

Andi B.:
Dough, I stopped using freeSharedMem.exe cause it does not display short spikes. I once had a SM crash where I did not see too less mem in freesharedmem but I saw it in the list http://www.os2.org/download/file.php?id=87 produces. It was clearly to less shared mem when SM crashed probably due to some scripts (amazon.com IIR).
