Can you please try that in safe mode? ($firefox -safe-mode). Ahh, I see you already test it in safe mode. Can you please attach a backtrace of the freeze? How-to is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Debugging_guidelines_for_Mozilla_products#Application_freeze Thanks! seems to be there is no debuginfo package for firefox available. All other debuginfo packages installed just fine. Tried to delete dnf/yum cache, no difference: [ad@localhost ~]# sudo debuginfo-install firefox ... Could not find debuginfo for main pkg: firefox-44.0-3.fc23.x86_64 however, i attached the backtrace with the other debuginfo-packages installed (in case that may help without the firefox symbols) Created attachment 1121301 [details]
backtrace w/o firefox sysmbols package
Looks like it freezes in reflow (layout engine) but there's no reason for that. There may an html element which may cause the troubles but I'm unable to reproduce...do you say you just enter amazon.de and it freezes? btw. could you try to create a new profile ($firefox -ProfileManager -no-remote) and test? Hi Martin, i can access amazon.de just fine. I have to enter something into the search input box at the upper left, e.g. Motor and start the search. This results in the reported freeze. I have created a new profile and tried it with this profile. It works, firefox does not freeze. Thanks for that, i can now get rid of chrome. I have used the default profile for some time, the oldest file in the profile directory is from year 2009, it may even be created before that since i always retained my home directory on fedora or hardware updates. Any hint how to find what causes firefox to freeze ? I guess it may be related to some search history in your old profile - maybe parsing it takes so long. see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data#w_what-information-is-stored-in-my-profile for details. |
