Pale Moon forum

I have found since I've installed PM, that after Windows has been asleep for a long time (and often, for only 10-30 mins), that PM is either nonresponsive, or very slow to respond. I can click on each tab I have left open from the night before, and PM will not display the new tab, or will only do so after 5-10 seconds. This keeps up until I give up and restart the browser. Interestingly enough, clicking on the Restart Manager icon in my toolbar will usually IMMEDIATELY restart the browser, even though everything else I click on takes several seconds to do. Also, today, with all my addons disabled, the same non-responsiveness was seen--but I could still click on the red X, and the browser closed immediately.

Anyways, I tried disabling all my addons but AB Latitude, and the same issue was seen. I then disabled all of the addons, and this morning after several hours of sleep, the computer woke up just fine, but PM had the same non-responsiveness.

I am pretty sure that it is related to Windows sleep, because during the day this problem never appears on its own--it is only after Windows goes to sleep.

I saw a link to What is hanging. I did install it and ran it, but there was nothing about PM--only Settings and Calculator. Not sure how to use that program.

Is there anything I can do, apart from creating a new profile? This current profile is only a week old (that's how long I've been using PM), so I doubt it is profile related, but of course anything is possible.

Operating system: Windows 10
Browser version: 27.0.2
32-bit or 64-bit?: 64 bit
Problem URL: n/a
Theme: Australium
Installed add-ons: it happens when all are disabled, but here goes: AB Latitude; Clearly; Cookies Exterminator; Password Exporter, RC Print; Restart Manager, User Agent Switcher, Zoom Toolbar.
Installed plugins: (about:plugins) SumatraPDF Browser Plugin is the only one installed, although this problem surfaced before I installed Sumatra

Thanks for reporting. It seems this is a regression from the platform update as Mozilla's timer thread code for waking up from sleep has an incorrect adjustment algorithm. This was already fixed before in Pale Moon and will have to be re-applied. Issue #756

OK, well at least I don't have to look for substitutes for my addons, or downgrade my PM version.

OK I'll wait for the next dot release. I can certainly live with this, at least for the short term.

Since upgrading to 27.0.3, I have woken this up from sleep 3 times, including an all-nighter (of sleep), and I haven't had this problem re-surface at all, so it looks like whatever you did, worked.

Locking for stale-bumping.
