> Have you properly configured your user? As far as I know, raising the ulimit and being in the staff class can not possibly be the solution. Ulimit has to be raised unless one wants the browser(s) to constantly crash due to memory exhaustion, and that I havedone. But really: adding a normal user to staff class just to be able to run a browser properly is not in line with the secure by default approach, and should not (in my opinion) affect the performance in any way. The user account I use is, for other reasons, in the wheel group.
