Known issue. You'll need to try launching Iridium several times to eventually get it to start (sometimes 5 times in a row for me on i386). This issue was solved for the Chromium port shortly after the last release, so I'll guess the fix will trickle down to the Iridium port before the next release. (Someone running Iridium on -current to confirm/infirm?) After launching, the browser itself is quite solid, but tabs will crash from time on time, possibly because of memory constraints, as I've seen signs of major leaking (eg. with video streaming running for hours). <rant> One note on SeaMonkey, as it was mentioned in this thread… While the interface may seem bloated, the browser is currently the leanest full-featured one, in my experience. First of all the Mozilla-based rendering engine is not that bad to start with. Also SeaMonkey still uses only one process for everything, so it's not that memory-intensive. Being based on GTK+ 2.x also helps in this regard when compared to its GTK+ 3.x siblings. If you also need a full-featured mail client (as in capable of correctly rendering HTML junk, checking SMIME/PGP signatures etc.) and an IRC client, you'll get to take even more advantage of its monolithic design. I have used it successfully for years on old hardware. The OpenBSD port is very solid, thanks to the excellent work of Landry Breuil. To get the latest version, you'll need to run -current though, and even then, not all the latest Firefox security fixes will be included, as Seamonkey's development is slower. So beware of all the security implications of this, maybe compensate with NoScript and other tricks. As a side note, have noticed Firefox Quantum made strides in reducing memory consumption and has also become much snappier on OpenBSD for me. I'm typing this on a 9-year old desktop which struggled with latest ESR. To the point that sound in other apps (think light media players such as Deadbeef or ffplay) was sometimes chopped when closing heavy tabs in Firefox (confused as to why, this old workhorse has 8GB of RAM and a, premium at the time, Intel SSD). If you are interested in trying Firefox Quantum on 6.2, you should follow the instructions at https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20170425173917. </rant>
