[nmglug] firefox, CPU and memory

[Nick]

Yeah you need to take a look at your memory and io load. Firefox is less of an application and more of a os nowadays. There's a ton of output from ps, sar, lsof, iotop, etc that would be helpful in how those threads are run. I use htop, try it out.  With more information on its behavior...

Didn't seem to matter and FF crashes upon printing a page to file, pdf. I've disabled almost all my add-ons too, thinking that might be it. Maybe I'll switch to chrome. I've tried Epiphany and was unimpressed though I may try again.
