I bet you are using Firefox, eh?
I’ve noticed a lot of issues with scripts locking up Firefox, and even Flash player running through Firefox can hog enough memory to freeze a machine.
Yep. I may have to kiss the fox goodbye.
I can always use Chrome, I suppose...
I haven’t had Firefox “lock up” since at least V1.5 (2005) although we use Pale Moon (a derivative) now. Regarding “memory leak” issues, I’m running it right this moment on a laptop with 512MB with 150MB free and I can leave it up for weeks.
My Firefox has been locking up several times a day now for a couple of months or so. Tried uninstalling and re-installing to make sure I had the most current version ... still locks up. Tried Pale Moon as well ... don't remember it locking up but it was very slow. I don't like IE but use it occasionally. I'm almost about to try Chrome 😝
