JFYI, the problem was nailed down and worked around, see the last comments in the respective issue (https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2/issues/208). Please also consider reporting such things directly into the Mozilla issue system at https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2 as this way 1) it's guaranteed that it's noticed by the developers and 2) you get much faster feedback.

So everyone, please test ESR 45 with layout.frame_rate set to 0. Here it behaves just like ESR 38 did. I will make this value a default on OS/2 for the time being.


Thx, Dmitriy and your hard  work and to everyone else that makes FF possible !!!

Works  here, I'll post the fix here and it work with SM 2.42 !

In Firefox 45  type:

Code: [Select]
about:config
Search for:

Code: [Select]
layout.frame_rate
Change value from -1 to zero

Code: [Select]
0

Yes, setting layout.frame_rate to 0 works here, too.

Makes Thunderbird a bit better as well. Have to go into Tools-->Options-->Advanced-->General--> and click the Config Editor button to bring up about:config and apply the above change.
