On 64-bit debian testing. Firefox has been running fine on this host forever, but in the last couple of days it now runs as expected immediately after launch and for a short while thereafter, then effectively stops fetching. Comet/Ajax/auto-refresh pages don't refresh, manual reloads and new pages don't load, but, and this is the real problem, nor do they timeout, meaning you have no idea that there is a problem until other symptoms present themselves. Maddening. Something on the order of 20 tabs spread across 4 windows. htop shows plenty of RAM and CPU available. After quitting, which seems visually to complete correctly, a process called 'firefox.real' is left running. I haven't checked rigorously, but a first pass seems to show no such problems visible with character-mode browsers on the same host nor with Safari on a Mac on the same subnet with the same proxy and DNS settings. (Subject to revision). I'm hoping somebody recognizes these symptoms before I go down all the different possible routes there are for resolving this. -- Phil Hudson http://hudson-it.no-ip.biz @UWascalWabbit PGP/GnuPG ID: 0x887DCA63 -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
