boscoman: May 14, 2004; Eats like a meal...

Sir Unimaginative posted:

Not sure. I switched back to Chrome because I decided to embrace the Google; I keep Firefox around for differential diagnoses and HTML5/Unity games - Chrome can do HTML5 but it can't yet do persistent HTML5 too well and it's finally going through with the whole "death to NPAPI" thing (yes yes chromeflags but now that it's capital-H Happening I'd rather learn to deal with multiple browsers now). ... Actually HTML5 persistence in general is kind of a mess at the moment, since it depends on exports/third-party accounts/some other thing/or maybe your data's just screwed, if you don't want to lose stuff when Chrome blows a sync/arbitrarily ignores some kind of persistent data or Firefox changes their profile API or something).

I think your specific problem (well, a Firefox problem in general) is because the margin for the per-tab and per-process graphics buffers are absurdly small by default; I remember fixing this at some point along those lines but it involved a lot of about :config and trial and error (and error and error) and I'm not sure my fix was absolute.

If I manage to replicate some of it I'll leave a note in the Firefox Thread.

I've been busting my balls trying to fix this for the past couple weeks. I've updated all my drivers and even moved to Firefox nightly builds - but nothing fixed it. I made three new profiles, one with all my old extensions and scripts and two with zero extensions to clog up the pipes. But Firefox still kept hogging memory and crashing.

At this point, I honestly think it's Imgur's fault because I can view tonnes of images on other sites and not have this problem.

I did a search of Reddit, because it's their lovely image host, and what seem to be the consensus is to use Google's DNS.

And make sure to clear your browser's cache and also flush your DNS cache as well.

It's still not 100%, but images are loading a billion times faster and I can use Firefox a lot longer now before Imgur crashes it.

There's a beta maintained by Mozilla itself (not like Waterfox or Firefox64 BS), but it's not listed on the beta download page because Mozilla lol. It may help as part of a more extensive workaround, but not on its own.

There are 64-bit Aurora (developer edition) builds: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/all/

I am Communist: Apr 19, 2002; I can show you what endless looks like
I can show you a single infinite thing
I can let you taste the sweet and sour of forever
Unending. Eternal. Inevitable
Taste my darkness
Climb into my abyss
Fall into me. Into my eyes
Look at them. Depths unfathomable
Pain immeasurable
A cruel promise fulfilled

Pretty much. Blood becomes bio-goo, no exploded chest when you hit a mine, etc.

Firefox is a 32-bit application and I hit the 2-gigabyte limit daily. It will just stop rendering poo poo or just freeze, pegging 1 core of the processor.

It either being 64-bit or having multiple processes would help, but it has neither yet, so.

There's been a 64-bit Linux version for ages and image-heavy threads just started hanging or displaying blank squares for images since 37. The Android version started doing something similar with version 36. It's not a memory limit, they've changed something in the way images are rendered and broke something.

Here's a GIF, now this post is on-topic.

Yeah, my problems might actually have come from running adblock and ghostery. I disabled them and installed ublock and it seems that the memory situation is better.
