Firefox uses 100% of a kernel and the tab contents are no longer displayed.

Hello,

after being in use for a while Firefox refuses to load a new tab and stops displaying the content of previous loaded tabs. Instead everything is white with a spinning circle in the center. A quick view on htop reveals that Firefox uses 100% of _one_ kernel while the other 15 watch doing nothing.

I'm running Firefox on x86_64 Linux 4.19.1-arch1-1-ARCH.

Currently are the following addons in use: uBlock, uMatrix, Cookie AutoDelete, Decentraleyes, Header Editor, HTTPS Everywhere, Neat URL, Skip Redirect, WebApi Manager

I'm glad for any help. :)

The problem is: why is Firefox only using one core? If it would spread it evenly across the 16 cores it wouldn't crash.

Your Firefox is using only one core. Try to turn on those preferences and restart the browser:

  • layout.omtp.enabled
  • layout.display-list.retain
  • layers.acceleration.force-enabled

Then check, if it's better. You can go to about:support to check Multiprocess windows, Composing, Async pan/zoom, Off main thread composing values.

Go to about:performance and examine, if there any clues to find out, what is eating your resources.

After checking for a while now I came to the result that mostly resource heavy tabs seem to be the cause for all this trouble. I don't want to change my surf behavior though, because I know that it could work.
