Whenever there's some kind of js animation on a page (like on https://atom.io/), icecat starts freezing like crazy. Can't even close the tab. Is there a fix for that?
Okay, those weren't js animations but css, using translate etc. I was able to fix this by setting layers.acceleration.force-enabled to true.
I can never build just one locale with _SPEED=Y set, i always get a sed error:
$ export _SPEED=Y
$ export _LOCALE=en-us

error making: icecat
@figue thanks!
setting "security.sandbox.content.level" to 1 in about:config indeed is a workaround for videos in the browser crashing the tab they are playing from.
@akspecs set in about:config "security.sandbox.content.level" to 1
hi, all. i hope we're all doing well.
does anyone have any suggestions on why videos played in the browser will crash their tab? the same occurs with all extensions disabled, as well as in safe-mode.
any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
@figue yes. I'll try rebuilding, maybe it'll help...
@fredboy it's weird in this case, because I can surf in https://atom.io/ and I don't see any freeze. Did you set "security.sandbox.content.level" to 1?
@figue disabled them all to make sure. It didn't help.
@fredboy probably some extension is causing this. Try to disable it one by one and see what's going on.
