browser suddenly going black, sometimes freezes
Posted: December 22nd, 2016, 9:47 pm
Hello,
I am running windows XP on a box that has seamonkey 2.40. Lately, there have been times when all of the browser tabs go black. This includes pretty much everything in the browser. If I open bookmarks, that window is black as well. Sometimes the entire application freezes and I have to force kill it from the task manager. Sometimes I am able to close it normally. The email side seems unaffected, unless the app has frozen.
This seems to happen when I have a number of tabs open and am doing some searching. I have seen notations in the task bar about trying to load something from facebook.com. I run no-script and in most cases, all third party scripts are blocked. The last time this happened, I was searching for something on google and the search seemed to stop working. I pasted in something to search for and nothing happened when I clicked on search. Nothing was returned at all. I tried again and still nothing. Then I went to a new page and that was black and so was everything else.
This is fairly new. I haven't made any changes on this box in quite a while so I'm not sure what the issue may be.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
