I'm using a loaner laptop right now while waiting for my new daily driver to arrive. All along I was thinking there was an issue on *my* laptop causing this, but now that I've seen it happen on a different one, I think it's a SM problem. Here's what happens:
I go to Amazon--any part of it, whether for shopping or to use Amazon Drive--and SM immediately slows down to a crawl. I mean...it's.......like.........watching............ice..............thaw.............
Trying to scroll up/down a page takes forever. From the moment I do an action, like scroll up or click a link, until the time the action actually happens, can easily be 10-30 seconds.
It doesn't only affect Amazon--any other sites I have open are impacted, too. And closing the Amazon tab does not fix the problem. Only shutting down SM and restarting it does.
Let me proactively say, no, I have not tried running SM in safe mode! Since this is happening on two completely different computers, I'm not sure what that might accomplish. Both laptops are very high-spec, powerful, and recent, running variations of Ubuntu 20.04LTS (one runs Kubuntu, the other Pop!_OS).
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Amazon still works fine for me with SM.

Re: Amazon slows SM down to a crawl
I wish I knew what was causing my problem. It's as predictable as the sun coming up every morning! It's so bad, sometimes I'll look over at the clock just to make sure the seconds are still changing, i.e., the computer hasn't locked up! It's that bad.

Well now, you'll never know unless you try.Let me proactively say, no, I have not tried running SM in safe mode! Since this is happening on two completely different computers, I'm not sure what that might accomplish.

Re: Amazon slows SM down to a crawl
Okay, now we know! Nope. Didn't matter. The first two or three pages, I thought, hmmmm.... seems to be a lot faster. Then when I started hopping around, checking my orders, viewing product pages, etc., it was back to slow as frozen molasses.therube wrote:Well now, you'll never know unless you try.Let me proactively say, no, I have not tried running SM in safe mode!

No problems with the Amazon site for me with FreeBSD + SM 2.53.9.1 (yes, I hopped around product pages, my orders etc).

Re: Amazon slows SM down to a crawl
Thanks. I wish I could say the same. I can switch to FF or Chrome [or any other browser] and it's fast as can be. But I don't want to use any of those other browsers, you know?!trevoz wrote:No problems with the Amazon site for me with FreeBSD + SM 2.53.9.1 (yes, I hopped around product pages, my orders etc).

FWIW, I have no issues with Seamonkey 32 bit at Amazon.LinuxUserSince1991 wrote:I'm using a loaner laptop right now while waiting for my new daily driver to arrive.
