Browser is not responding
asked 2015-11-04 00:08:56 +0200
I just upgraded to 2.0.0.10. The Sailfish browser does not work for me in this version, at all.
When I try to load any website or even just about:, the browser's status bar indicates that something is being loaded, but the actual content area always remains completely white. After a while, the status bar also disappears, and I am left with a completely blank white screen. After waiting some more, a system "Browser is not responding, please wait / close" dialog shows up. Waiting does not help. Indeed, watching top in a terminal window, at this phase I see that the browser uses close to 100% CPU and allocates more and more memory (on the order of 1% of additional system memory every five seconds).
This happens both in private and normal browsing modes. It happens for jolla.com, other websites I tried (even ones with very little simple HTML and no fancy CSS or JavaScript) and, as I said, even for about:.
I tried rebooting the phone, but it didn't help (of course). Does anyone else have this problem? It is quite severe to me. [Edit: I only used the Sailfish browser for opening URLs from Tweetian. I have now set up Webcat to do that. So in that sense the problem is side-stepped.]
It might be that the installation did not successfully completed to 2.0.0.10. I had to manually update from terminal (developer-mode).
