Iceweasel freeze ups
Hi I am aware of an earlier thread about FF/IW 3.0. This is slightly different in that using IW, with 7 tabs open, using Privoxy and TOR, the entire browser has just frozen up. This is IW version: 2.0.0.14 on an up-to-date Lenny/testing machine. Even if I minimise another window that came up in front of IW (such as me pulling up this client to write this email), across the window of IW I am left with a series of lines that have yet to be refreshed. The IW indicator that shows when a page is loading has stopped, and the browser window is as good as useless. When minimised and reopened it simply shows my desktop with a frame around it where the browser window should be. The only way to deal with this is to force quit. I am unable to provide any details about the amount of mem it was using, or CPU time because I closed the damn thing, but will try to capture that info if it would help. I just wanted to know if others have been having trouble with IW of this kind of nature.

I just wanted to know if others have been having trouble with IW of this kind of nature. Cheers Andy I have multiple such problems with Iceape. One such problem, and it may be the cause, is that the Block unrequested pop-up windows, simply does not work. When, for whatever reason, the memory usage caused by Iceape, reaches a certain level (what exactly is that level, I have yet to determine, as it seems to vary, and, it may involve malicious code on particular web sites, that isallowed by Iceape, to take control of Iceape), Iceape opens multiple pop-up windows, and, if one of the pop-up windows is inadvertently, directly manually closed, the application crashes. These particular unwanted malicious pop-ups, show in the task bar as untitled window(s), usually showing no visible content. Sometimes, the untitled window(s) show as opened browser windows, with advertising, as mailicious advertisng billboards on the screen. If a tab or new browser window, that creates the unwanted pop-up on opening, is closed, the unwanted pop-up disappears. I oft wonder whether this is some security breach that uses a hangover of memory leaks, that were supposed to have occurred with the original netscape browsers, back at about version 4 of netscape, or something. Whatever the cause, the Block unrequested pop-up windows, simply does not work, and is a serious vulnerability, and, the failure to work, of that option, makes the application unstable. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..

The Konqueror file manager also freezes up frequently. I believe these are the same problem, as konqueror is used for all file management, so opening file options then call konqueror, or a segment of it which then crashes, rendering all your applications unable to open files, bit of a pain that. If you want to keep kde without having to ctrl-alt-backspace all the time, you might want to go through konqueror and turn off anything that is not file system related (being a browser) I found this helped a bit, but not enough to keep it. Also, a lot of time when I try to run an application, it will start loading, then just stop and disappear from the task bar, without giving me any kind of message. I think you will find your problems go away with kde, and I had the same problem with konqueror. If you are looking for a good lightweight browser try phoenix http://texturizer.net/phoenix/index.html should give you any information you might want.

Rather Odd freeze ups (and more :)
I have a not so related Linux question (with the exception that I run Linux) about some really weird, hard, lockups. Here's the deal: I had a ageing Cyrix 586/120 that started to seem *really* slow. Any how, I bought a Abit-BH6 Board, a Intel Celeron 300A, some PC-100 RAM, and used the following hard ware from my old machine : A S3 Trio 64v+ video card, Maxtor HD, and a 3.5 Floppy (there is other stuff, but I don't have it installed to help trouble shoot). So, I plug every thing in and it works, I Recompile my kernel for the PPro, ran some other CPU intensive apps, every thing seemed great, and very quick. That is untill I ran netscape, then the machine crashed (yes crashed!) hard. I can't restart it with the good old ctlaltdel, I have to use the hardware rest switch, and then I found out that other graphic intens apps did the same thing (Gimp, Eterm, etc). It does the same thing in Win95 (I now 95 dies often, but most of the time you can reset it with the ctlaltdel), and I am now completly clue less what to do next. What I have done: I got mad, thought it was a HW problem, and sense the other stuff I had from the other machine was running great untill the day I took it apart, so I sent it all back, and recived new parts, but have all the same problems. At this time, I am thinking video may be the problem, but any suggestions would be greatly appreached, oh, and I am not overclocking it...
