I've been out of pocket for a while, so don't shoot me, if this
has already been brought up. I'm having a problem with my desktop freezing up, and I'm running Cent OS 6. It seems to happen while I'm running firefox. I'm not sure if it's firefox, or the OS that's locking up. When it freezes up, nothing will respond, so I'm inclined to think it's the OS that's freezing up. Has anyone else been having this problem?
I've had "many" temporary whole desktop freezes due to Firefox being
overloaded.
Not sure who is the culprit... Gnome? Xorg? NVidia driver? Guess nothing in the bios or lnux logs? You could try another browser for a while and see if there are no more
freezes...
I wouldn't say "many", but yes, it does. It also does things like slowing to a crawl, and then there's when I allow something via noscript, and refresh the page... and then have to refresh and restart the streaming media that's running in another tab.
