At some point (I can't put my finger on exactly when this started), an existing firefox instance hangs after my laptop is put to sleep and then wakes from sleep. Websites in existing tabs still work, but searching for another webpage in an existing tab or opening a new tab is when the hang occurs. Killing and restarting firefox eliminates the problem until the next sleep. Interestingly, "simple" websites such as the OpenBSD or Arch Linux websites still can be started after sleeping, but "fancy" ones such as Gmail or the Washington Post cannot. This suggests to me the problem lies in javascript or some other non-pure html component.
I am using 7.4 stable on a Lenovo X1 Carbon, gen 4, though it also occurs on an X1 gen 9. A recent update to firefox (and all the other installed packages) didn't help. This doesn't happen with other browsers such as chromium or iridium. I am not sure what kind of diagnostics would help here. David J. Raymond david.raym...@nmt.edu http://kestrel.nmt.edu/~raymond
