This is unfortunate as what ‘should’ have happened was we release a version which would “act as a watershed” to check for CPU SSE and report (in the case of not having CPU SSE) that the user’s system is not supported anymore. SeaMonkey 2.46 (Well, it would’ve started with 2.44) will not work with systems that do not have CPU SSE.

I have a tendency to suspect Flash, however.This is directed to fellow Windows SeaMonkey users. I cannot assign blame to any specific removed addon because I did not go back and add them back in to see who was guilty. Previously a reboot would have been required after about six hours under these circumstances. My memory usage is now totally stable for extended (multiple day) times, with two pages containing around 43 (currently) open tabs.

Making the various PDF and DOC/DOCX extension addons ask for permission, and installing either Adblock or Ublock. My memory problem was apparently cured by some combination of removing Flash, FlashBlock, DOM inspector, and a couple other probably benign addons that I don't remember,
It appears that the memory leak may not be intrinsic to Seamonkey, but is related either to advertising displays, or to one or more plugins/addons. Justinh, I agree with you about the Windows dig, but in fact the suggestions were useful and I followed them to my benefit. I suspect there is more than a memory leak, but cannot venture any intelligent opinion on what else might be going on. If more info is wanted, I will try to get it. It does not seem to matter what sites the tabs are opened on, though my choices are usually pretty passive ones anyway. Staying around 8 tabs total does not seem do it at all, though it may just be too slow to see.
This behavior is nonlinear with respect to the number of open browser tabs more tabs cause the problem to be worse way out of proportion to the tab count. My wife sees it also on a different computer. This is version 2.46, though I think it started for me with 2.40. This continues until it is no longer possible to c lose Seamonkey with either the keyboard or the mouse, and eventually it traps and the message about having to emanates from Windows.ĭuring this, which is moderately consistent, there are no videos, no audios, flash is blocked, repeating GIFS and other such ad stuff is disabled, so there is very little apparently going on. If I then try to use the browser, the performance becomes slower, and eventually loses keyboard functionality almost completely. I tend to run the browser with two open windows, each with around 10 to 15 tabs open, along with the mail window.Įven when I minimize all three Seamonkey windows, with Task Manager showing the Details screen, and I am not doing any typing or mousing, I see the memory usage increasing first slowly, then faster and faster, with the CPU utilization climbing from the 12% range into the 20% range, and the memory usage climbing from around 400 MB.Īfter some time, not very precise, memory climbs to around 2 GB or more. I think this applies mostly to the browser.

I have been a user of Seamonkey for a long time, since the mid version 1.X versions.Īmong other things, I am a software developer, but not on Seamonkey.
