https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D211233 --- Comment #8 from Martin Birgmeier <la5lbtyi@aon.at> --- It is still crashing, even on multiple machines (running the same binaries). I tried to track it down further: Since there are always two cores, namely firefox.core and plugin-container.core, I tried to watch any plugin-contain= er processes. Sure enough, they appear when I open a new tab. And their memory footprint (SIZE in 'top') increases rapidly. So I started a small script to kill any plugin-container as soon as it would appear and voila - firefox do= es not crash any more. I found a vaguely similar bug report: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1062571 However, even disabling all plugins does not help, the plugin-container is still started when opening a new tab. The following plugins are installed according to 'about:addons': OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. ............ always activate IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.6.2) .................... ask to activate Skype Buttons for Kopete ........................................ ask to activate At least, the plugin-container is being activated most of the time. Now, on= one machine, after several 'killall plugin-container', it does not start any mo= re when opening a new tab (this is still the same firefox process). On the oth= er machine, with the kill script running twice per second, between 4 and 5 plugin-containers are created until no further ones appear. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
