Massive memory spike and hang when using CAA
So I just installed the Classic Addons Archive, and it hangs PM on opening, for about 2 minutes. Switch away from the page, or try searching for an extension and again it hangs. Each time memory usage shot up by about 100 MB, and given that this is a puny 4 GB i5 laptop, I'm not impressed. Is this expected behavior, and is it because of low RAM on my laptop? Using the latest x64 PM build.

No it's not expected behavior, and it doesn't happen when I use CAA.
Does it still ocur in safe mode? Or in a new profile?

When you first install it, it has to build a database with all the provided extensions.
There are a lot of them, and it can take a while to complete the operation.

Not the first time..whenever I open it this happens. Memory usage drops back after I close it.

Found the culprit, it was CanvasBlocker, which anonymizes the canvas component to prevent fingerprinting. It can whitelist certain URLs,coffeebreak wrote: ↑2019-07-09, 08:48No it's not expected behavior, and it doesn't happen when I use CAA.

You should be able to ditch that and use Pale Moon's inbuilt poisondata instead: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=22067&p=166762
Forked extensions :
● Add-ons Inspector ● Auto Text Link ● Copy As Plain Text ● Copy Hyperlink Text ● FireFTP button replacement ● gSearch Bar ● Navigation Bar Enhancer ● New Tab Links ● Number Tabs ● Print Preview Button and Keyboard Shortcut 2 ● Scrollbar Search Marker ● Simple Marker ● Tabs To Portfolio ● Update Alert ● Web Developer's Toolbox ● Zap Anything
Hint: If you expect a reply to your PM, allow replies...

Guess I can get rid of the extension then.
