I upgraded my linux ubuntu 13.10 to U14.4 On 13.10 I found running firefox would cause the CPU to go crazy and the system would in effect spin up to total CPU usages and in effect freeze. So I switched to using chrome exclusively. After I upgraded after some number of days my sytem would freeze, keyboard was dead and no remote login. Could ping but only reboot by hardware reset would bring back system. With upgrade both chrome and firefox were updated to latest versions. I found if I minimized a chrome window it would not return to full size. It would in effect disappear from view. So I am again trying the latest version of firefox as my browser of choice. I invoke independent firefox processes. I have a script called mfirefox watson@xen1[35]cat `which mfirefox` #!/bin/tcsh #/usr/local/bin/mfirefox # preconfig script to allow multiple independent firefox sessions set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 set LIBPATHSTRICT=T set MOZILLA_HOME= set BEGINLIBPATH= firefox -no-remote $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 & I have created different profiles for each of my desktops. In my fvwmrc file I have a dropdown menu for each profile names are for desks 1 to 12. AddToMenu Mfire "Mfire" Title + "===============================" Nop + "watson sys1" Exec exec mfirefox -P watson + "taw sys2" Exec exec mfirefox -P taw + "toms3d-5873" Exec exec mfirefox -P toms3d-5873 + "home-8590" Exec exec mfirefox -P home-8590 + "" Nop #+ #"feedback" Exec exec mfirefox -P feedback + "PHOTO A" Exec exec mfirefox -P PHOTO_A #+ #"bestoffer" Exec exec mfirefox -P bestoffer + "EBAY SALES" Exec exec mfirefox -P PHOTO_Z + "listings" Exec exec mfirefox -P listings + "" Nop + "audiobook" Exec exec mfirefox -P audiobook + "torrents A" Exec exec mfirefox -P torrents + "torrents Z Dman" Exec exec mfirefox -P dargtorrent + "SEARCH1" Exec exec mfirefox -P SEARCH1 + "SEARCH2" Exec exec mfirefox -P SEARCH2 This directory has screen grabs of all 12 desk captured using u13.10 U14.4 is basically the same. toms.homeip.net
