Title:
firefox just circles jig 2022-03-09

Bug description:
2022-03-09-firefox-snapshot-cmd.txt
This file is saved with "windoz" file endings so it can be read by any
computer. I was running Thunderbird downloading my e-mails when I had one
e-mail to renew a magazine subscription which loads an HTML file to fill out my
information for renewal. At this point Firefox locked up and was just doing
it's little circle jig! After several minutes there appeared an empty message
box (probably to say that Firefox was not responding!), but it was empty!
After pulling the plug, and restarting Ubuntu 21.10 64-bit Desktop on
my Raspberry Pi 400 computer I tried to start Firefox again and 20 minutes
later it was still doing it's little circle jig. At this time I opened the
System Monitor and looked at the fluctuating CPU cores with one usually reading
0%, another 1%, another around 10%, and the fourth around 25%, with all of the
cores swapping in and out, none were static.
I am really not impressed with "Snaps"! It appears to me to be nothing
more than "Microsoft Spaghetti Code"! When I tried to load "Geany" the snap
version was over 100 MB and would not even run. When I loaded it with "sudo apt
install geany" I ended up getting two 1 MB files and that program has run
flawlessly! I have been having a lot of trouble with "Firefox" snap locking up
and even just quitting at any random point, with it being around 160 MB. The
normal apt version is only 56 MB and runs smoothly! Again, I am not impressed
with "SNAPS"!
I am going to post: 2022-03-09-firefox-snapshot-cmd.txt,
2022-03-09-firefox-snapshot as well as 2022-03-09-firefox-snap.zip
which will contain both and want to download. My internet connection
is only 2 Mb/sec down and 1 Mb/sec up so the maximum speed will
probably max out around 125 kB/sec. My web site is
http://162.250.19.7/ and will come up with a green screen and a
directory listing. I am now running my site with "thttpd" from
Acme.com, which used to be the number 7 web server software, on a
Raspberry Pi 4B with 4 GB RAM and a 128 GB micro-SD card, using the
new Raspberry Pi 64-bit OS. I found the 2 GB file limit size that
would be served was caused by using a 32-bit OS, (2**31 =
2,147,483,647 or 7fffffff). Using a 64-bit OS I have tested files up
to 5 GB and have had no problems with them not showing up on the
internet. This software is bullet proof out of the box because it is
using a read-only file system but can do CGI programs by adding the
CGI information. The "cut and paste" directions for building this site
are under: http://162.250.19.7/ in "Freedom/" and in "freedom.zip"
which I need to redo for the 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS.
So anybody can access these files I am posting them to:
http://162.250.19.7/ with the files being: 2022-03-09-firefox-
snapshot-cmd.txt, 2022-03-09-firefox-snapshot, and 2022-03-09-firefox-
snapshot.zip.
