Hi Moe,
Are there any other symptoms? How much memory do you have in your computer?
Does this happen with just one window open - so nothing else closed down
as a tab?
If you run top (or any other performance indicator) at the same time,
do you see any pattern to what processes are running?
Also - this is the Debian version - the Firefox ESR - and not a newer
version from Mozilla themselves?
Rather than moving to yet another browser, lets see if we can narrow
down causes. Someone else a while ago was mentioning the same problem
but with the newer versions of Thunderbird - do you have a Thunderbird
window somewhere in the background, perhaps?
All the very best, as ever,
Andy Cater
