Display dissapearing or freezing in Leap 16.0

[vajcek]

Now, I test browsers - Google works fine - Mozilla crashes: freezes then breaks. It is almost impossibly to work in Mozilla.

@vajcek I only use google-chrome, so if you browse the the URL chrome://gpu and check that first section, then in firefox use about:support how to they compare?

I would also, but my computer-stuff (if I may say this way) requires comunication with all main web-browsers. Especially, I prefere Mozilla because of more readebly page-codes. I see, I will use Chromme but… I want “my Mozilla” back.

Do you suggest to set in Mozilla like it is set in Chrome? In first Dhrome section, everything is dissabled.

@vajcek these are the rpm versions of chrome and firefox?

On Leap 16.0 I use the flatpak version of google-chrome as it provides the necessary parts for hardware acceleration etc…

So, I use Chrome and has no bugs I have had in Mozilla. Also, I must repeat that I applied you suggestions about “trembling Chrome”, so now it works perfectly. I hope this problem with Mozilla woul be solved. Maybe some recommednation regarding not so expensive graphic card?

This is what I tried: I made fresh, new account on my computer. As an experiment, I did not add any panel or widget - just started Firefox in Terminal. Started Nothing break!

Then I added OpenSUSE menu - Firefox still works.
