#1 Re: Installation » Firefox lags and sometimes freezes completely on Devuan 6 » Today 11:07:40

Peace and Good Again (now with a solution for the use of Firefox and Thunderbird toguether)
first of all
purple.disable_foreground_integration
Change to true

toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled
change to false

mail.spotlight.enable
change to false

browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory
change to false

dom.ipc.processCount
change to 1 or 2

accessibility.force_disabled
change to 1

widget.use-dbus-menu
change to false

browser.tabs.remote.autostart
change to true

widget.use-dbus-menu
change to false

Change the ahead lines in Thunderbird (configuration -engine icon, then scroll down at config editor, advanced preferences) too, and also change that lines:
gfx.webrender.software
change to true

layers.acceleration.disabled
change to true

webgl.disabled
change to true

gfx.x11-egl.force-disabled
change to true

widget.gtk.cursor-async.enabled
change to false

so trhe lines doenst do the work alone, at least for me. Indeed in this case i need to change some lines to configure the rendering method.

nano /usr/share/applications/firefox-esr.desktop
Exec=env -i DISPLAY=:0 dbus-run-session /usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr %u

nano /usr/share/applications/thunderbird.desktop
Exec=env -i DISPLAY=:0 dbus-run-session /usr/bin/thunderbird %u

And now i m  thinking if changing only the archive /usr/share/applications/firefox-esr.desktop i can get stop the freezes??? Anyone can test, and report? (im thinking in test too hhehehe).

Peace and Good to all!
My Firefox are freezing too. but only in multi function.
First notice when i open Firefox and Libre Office togheter (so exclude GTK from Libre office corrects the problem eith some modifications in Firefox)
In Firefox go to configuration>Performance (Desempenho in portuguese) > deactivated option
And deactivet so: Use hardware acceleration
And in browser type:
about:config
Skip risk screen and type
gfx.webrender.software
change the first option to true
after that type:
layers.acceleration.disabled
change to true
and that:
webgl.disabled
change to true

So i can use Firefox with Libre Office, but not Firefox with OBS-studio and so
In Firedox browser again, type:
about:config
Skip risk screen and type
gfx.webrender.all
alterar gfx.webrender.all to true
gfx.x11-egl.force-disabled
change to true
media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled  (original in boolean)
change to false
and so
gfx.webrender.compositor
change to false

So i can use OBS-Studio with Firefox;

But is freezing again with Thunderbird at same time:
im trying right now (haha - kkk -  jaja ) and like Terminator:  "i wil be back"

dom.ipc.processCount.webIsolated (original in mine is 4)
change to 2 or4

So im a Gigabyte Aorus B450m Elite, AMD Ryzen 7 3700x, 16 GB RAM, Asus/Nvidia GTC 1050 Ti, SSD Samsumg  970 EVO Plus , Devuan-GNU, XFCE sysVinit, Linux 6.12.90+deb13.1-amd64 (with a Barracuda HD with Windows11)
