Honestly, I've just about had enough (lemmy.zip)

I'm doing my best to continue using Firefox, but it's becoming incredibly annoying, and I'm seriously at my wit's end and just about to give up on it permanently.

I've noticed during video calls it causes my computer to completely freeze up and require a reboot sometimes.

And on my phone, sometimes when I'm reading, it will just make my screen completely stop responding to me and I have to force reboot my phone in order to fix it.

I know that Gecko is the only other web engine option to fight Chromium's Blink, but I'm seriously just about fed up enough with Firefox to say fuck it.

Servo or ladybird may be the only real hope left.

What's your system and phone and what are they operating on? This sounds less like a Firefox issue and more like a system issue.

[-] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Desktop is Linux Mint Debian and phone is Android 15. I know for a fact chromium works and does not freeze up my system on LMDE.

What is your desktop CPU and RAM and your phones SoC?

[-] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago

Desktop is intel, phone is snapdragon. Firefox is the only issue on both.

You need to be more specific. "Intel" can mean anything from a 90s chip to something released recently.

I can't remember the exact model number. I can tell you that it's from like 2010, but I can't get more specific than that because I can't remember the model right off hand. What I can say for sure is that with chromium it does not freeze and my fans also don't run as hard.
