firefox 3.0b5 under opensuse 11

Hi lads

I recently installed opensuse 11 which came alongside with firefox 3.0b5

The performance of Firefox has been very poor, to the extent that the GUI hangs and a manual kill of the app is needed…

I remove the beagle-indexing package which comes along with the firefox package branded for SuSE to save some resource and while this improved the performance a bit Firefox is still generally hanging at stages reaching indecent CPU usage…

My CPU is an AMD Sempron 2800…

Anybody experiencing the same thing could share some tip?

Cheers

Hi

Can you get this machine an internet connection?

An update process will bring you to firefox 3.0.3

I have the firefox 3.0.3 in opensuse 11 and have noticed that the systems does hang up every once and awhile. But I think that is more in part that I need to update flash and stuff like that.

Hi
Just a note it’s better to post your own thread rather than tacking
onto an existing one even if the subject is similar :slight_smile:

If you look in preferences->Security have a look at disabling the two
“Tell me …” check boxes and restarting firefox.
You could also look at disabling IPV6 as well via YaST->
System-> /etc/syconfig Editor and search for “KDE_USE_IPV6” and set to
no.
