[qubes-users] Firefox unresponsive script

Shawn_Creighton · January 28, 2021, 5:31pm

Anyone else experience Firefox on Qubes freezing up with super high CPU usage? Happens to me about once a day, it will freeze for like 5 minutes and then a script warning like this will pop up. I’m not using any plugins or add-ons.

Unresponsive script: chrome://browser/content/places/browser Places Views.js: 115

If you've a i7-8550U CPU, it might be caused by this bug: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/4604

Those unresponsive script errors in Firefox don’t happen to anyone else? It’s happening so often now I am about to reinstall the system and use Brave instead.

Not here. Try Firefox LTR if you aren't already?
