Re: Browser Flakiness under Jessie -- Why?

[Jörg-Volker Peetz <jvpeetz@web.de>]

Since you used iceweasel/firefox over several releases, it may be a problem with
your profile folder which probably is located in your HOME folder in ~/.mozilla .
So first thing to try is a new profile. For that purpose terminate the browser.
Make sure, from a terminal, no hidden processes are still running:

  ps xuw | grep -E  '([i]ceweas|[f]irefox)'

should show no process.

Then rename the profile folder:

   mv -i ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-prev

and start your browser again.
