forum crashing

Post by markeg » Mon Jun 04, 2012 9:39 am

I have memory leak issues with IE9 and latest Firefox running on a Win 7 platform, but all runs fine with Chrome. Looked at plugins/add-ins but no sign of anything there. Also runs fine with chrome and Win8 on my testbed laptop. Moral? Use chrome :)

I have Win7 64 bit (sp1 applied) with Firefox and find it just keeps creeping up on the memory. Yesterday after an hours and a half use, it was running at just under 2 Mb! Need to look into it a bit more as its only on this forum it happens...... otherwise I'll just use chrome :wink:

Firefox definitely has a memory leak, but it's not the forum crashing. In fact I took a look at task manager :o

Time to try Chrome...

My suspicion is that its Firefox memory leak and Adobe flash that are combining to cause Firefox to 'hang'... :roll:

Edited my last. Bloody Hell. It might be heresy, but IE9 is getting good reviews...

shhhhh........... heard the same, but am also finding out that IE9 hangs after a while. Chrome is the only one of the three that is working cleanly for me :roll:

So, I believe I have tracked it down. It also crashes in Chrome, but only the plugin so the browser stays active. In IE and Firefox it causes either the browsers to increase memory footprint until they either crash or hang, a dependent process to do the same(like plugin-container), or both . Culprit is good old Adobe Flash, which I believe is being used to run the ads in the top left of the forum window...

Have checked and am running the latest plugin. Also checked Adobe and there are a number of bug reports on browser crashes (I found around 1800 on a simple search) - see here.

Until there is an updated plugin, think the answer is use chrome, or keep closing/opening your browser of choice.

I noticed Chrome runs multiple instances in task manager. if you add up all the instances it wasn't far off Firefox.

I'm running Adblock pro, which ought to eliminate Flash as a cause as you suggest, but I still get memory leaks
