I am not sure how Flash got involved in this issue, but I have

I've tested a couple of times, doing some predictable thing that
seems to block Icecat. When Flash plugin is disabled it seems all is
fine. In my case I don't need Flash so this seems to fix the issue.
If anyone is interested, the version of Flash is: 11.1r102
Thanks. : ]
Good, Emmanuel.
If you do not need flash, better keeping it disabled, of course. And
gnash is a reasonable replacement for the not-free-source one.
I have suggested to disable dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (switch "true" to
"false" in about:config), because the "symptoms" you have described
are similar to a problem I and others had with version 6.x (or 5.x,
can't remember) and later, and was caused by *ash plugin.
If you do not mind, just for the sake of others who want to use the
*ash plugin, please, could you check that enabling the plugin and
switching dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false also solves the problem
and
report to the list the result? I am waiting for IceCat-12.0 to do it
myself, too.
I can no longer reproduce the errors I had yesterday. Weird.
I re-activated Flash first, just to get back the slowness so I could
then test with dom.ipc.plugins.enabled:false. Then uninstalled
no-script, because disabling no-script isn't enough to actually disable
it... . .
I am giving up on doing any real testing because I can no longer
re-produce the issues I had previously. I can report though that last
night I re-compiled Icecat and added in .mozconfig:
-----------------------------------
--disable-installer
--disable-updater
--disable-parental-controls
--disable-necko-wifi
--with-arch=x86_64
--enable-default-toolkit=cairo-qt
-----------------------------------
The thing is these were the first options I tried, before resorting to
re-compiling with default options. I am now a bit confused and tired, I
must admit. Even finding a document that explains what the options are
actually about is impossible (or each option might be described on a
different website).
I wish there were a page the explains the options and eventual possible
values.. (besides going through the source code as someone has
suggested).
I am just going to use it as is, if it become unusable I will retry
some of the other options and report back anything pertinent. I am sorry
to not be of more use right now.
