Thanks -- I will give xombrero a shot. Definitely need javascript support as I am currently composing this in Gmail and do quite a bit of javscript-based web development :) On Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 1:31 PM, wrote: > I think the problem is with firefox itself. > tedu@ wrote a post about this: >

Try to raise your aperture driver level to give your gpu more privileges: # sysctl machdep.allowaperture=2 You can read more about the other levels on man pages (type "man xf86").

Re: Firefox Crashes; slow xfce
