So I've been contemplating... do I or don't I?
Do I come in here & say, oh, since I created a "new" Profile, it hasn't happened... ?
Do I or don't I?
Well before I had the chance to do that, I can firmly say, "it is not working" - kind of.
Still on 101.0.1 (purposely did not update to 102, now 102.0.1 - because I didn't want to restart).
So... a week ago (12:39:03 PM 06/22/2022), I created a "clean" Profile.
Took my existing & deleted EVERYTHING - except for places.sqlite, cookies.sqlite - only cause they held my history...
Since then, all has been fine.
FF has not been opened, has not been closed.
Is not using undo CPU (almost none, actually), nor undo RAM 2.5 GB (& 47 FF processes).
The other day, I could not reach (even ping) palemoon.org.
Not in FF, not in SeaMonkey, not from other computers, not after restarting my modem & router, doing IPCONFIG stuff.
That lasted a few days.
With that, I figured it was my something on my ISP's end. (I did not have DoH enabled).
With FF, it was kind of easy to check that. Enable DoH, & palemoon.org fired right up.
With SeaMonkey, a little harder, so I didn't try.
Anyhow, a couple of days after that, SeaMonkey too - without change or restart, was also able to reach it.
Again, I attribute that to an ISP issue (that they must have cleared on their own).
(I would have called Comcast, but have you ever tried
.)
So here I am, now, do I or don't I... ?
And literally, up to a few minutes ago, all was good.
Doing nothing special, just some lazy browsing. Youtube, where I rarely go. Imgur, where I rarely go.
Other odd sites, here & there. Not trying to push anything...
(Previously, during the past week, I did purposely open sites that I would normally open in SeaMonkey, in FF [given that I rarely run FF], just to see if I could get things to break - but I couldn't.)
So just now, as I'm about to go (i.e., leave - & instead, I am here), for whatever reason I clicked something in FF, & guess what?
Nada! Nothing! Zip! Zilch!
Can't load google.com. Can't load noscript.net nor informaction.com nor anything* else!
You heard that, didn't you?
*Anything
Anything.
For whatever reason, I clicked Help | About FF.
And in that dialog is something that says, "Firefox Help".
And for whatever reason, I clicked it, & lo & behold, it LOADS,
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/produ ... =inproduct.
And I'm like, what?
(Still) Can't load google.com. Can't load noscript.net nor informaction.com nor anything* else!
Yet I *can load "support" (cough) pages from that page that did open?
*Can
As I'm typing this (kind of timely), so I again go through
those steps, yet this time "Firefox Help" does NOT load?
How's that for confusing.
So I type more here...
And I go back & try it yet again, & this time it does load.
(Still) Can't load google.com. Can't load noscript.net nor informaction.com nor anything* else!
And I can (again) load various (cough) support.mozilla.org pages.
Network.
Use system proxy settings.
DoH is not enabled. NoScript is enabled.
about:addons -> (click to disable) NoScript... Takes time to register, to go from blue to gray.
Google.com fires right up.
Enable, & browsing is now *dead.
*Dead.
But support.mozilla.org - still works!
Enable DoH (Cloudflare) & NoScript enabled...
*Dead.
But support.mozilla.org - still works!
(I just canceled my subscription to MDN Plus & recommend that all do so too,
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ho ... n-mdn-plus.)
So there you go.
I eeked out 1 weeks worth of usage before FF died on me (again).
And now that it has died... I shall stick in 102.0.1, necessitating a (FF) restart, so I should be good for another... week?
