Palemoon 27.4.2 has high CPU usage, sluggish and freezes the system

Unread post by truongtfg » 2017-08-27, 06:20

Greetings,

On my machine running Linux Mint 18.2 XFCE, the latest Palemoon 27.4.2 has high CPU usage (100%) and freezes the whole system when I open about 5-7 tabs. When I downgrade it to 27.4.1, everything runs smoothly again with >15 tabs running with no issue (CPU usage rarely pass 50%, too).

My computer spec: Core 2 Duo E8600, 2x2gb DDR2 RAM, Zotac Geforce 650GTX.
List of addons used:

uBlock Origin
Imagus
Xmarks
DownThemAll!
FlashGot
VimFx
Private Tab
DownThemAll! AntiContainer
Reader
Google search link fix
Capture & Print
Extended Statusbar
Quick Context Search

Hope this help.
Thank you.

I' running the same version on Linux/XFCE with normal CPU usage.
It's probably one of the extensions that is causing the issue. Try disabling them one by one to find the culprit.

When I reinstalled Palemoon 27.4.2, it's weird that it works better (more responsive) than the first time I installed it, although the CPU usage is still a little bit more "jumpy" than 27.4.1.

Recently I've discovered that one of my RAM sticks was faulty, when I replaced it everything was smooth sailing again.
