After reading the following, the browser's been well-behaved: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/firefox-is-leaking-memory-on-my-system.67657/ I recently acquired a refurbished laptop and I'm running FreeBSD 12 on it with Xfce as the desktop. (There are some quirks with using Mate, for some reason.) Firefox hasn't malfunctioned on me yet. BMJ On Thu, Jan 3, 2019 at 12:38 AM doug wrote: > I finally got my laptop upgraded to 11.2.
