Iceweasel stability issues after reading the browser straw poll
Hi all,
After reading the browser straw poll, I was influenced to try some of the plug-ins listed. I installed: Adblock Plus 1.2.1, FlagFox 4.0.8, Flashblock 1.5.13, FlashGot 1.2, Leo Search 1.0.0, NoScript 1.9.8.69, and Readability 1.1. Some of these I installed with aptitude and the ones that weren't I installed through firefox/the mozilla website.
Since doing so I've begun to have, for the very first time, stability problems with iceweasel on testing when watching flash videos on youtube. Generally, my browser will, some time during the playing of the video, before, or after it finishes, become frozen such that I can't click any of the buttons or close it.
I then do "ps -auwx | grep iceweasel" and get:
stuckey@debian:~$ ps -auwx | grep iceweasel
Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
stuckey 22684 0.0 0.0 3952 584 ? S 17:52 0:00 sh -c iceweasel
stuckey 22694 1.6 3.5 594612 145848 ? Sl 17:52 0:11 /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin
stuckey 27256 0.0 2.9 594612 119008 ? S 18:03 0:00 /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin
stuckey 27527 0.0 0.0 7548 860 pts/2 S+ 18:03 0:00 grep iceweasel
stuckey@debian:~$ kill -9 27256
I have to assume that this is due to one of the plugins I installed. Does anyone have any input? A lot of those are really cool and I would hate to have to give one up -- especially the Leo search one (though I wish there was a Langenscheidts plug-in that did something similar).
ciao
