I'm getting sick of having to hit Ctrl/Alt/Del twenty times a day whenever Firefox has locked up the WPS, so I'm thinking of writing a utility that would monitor Firefox and kill it whenever the Firefox CPU usage goes above 99%. TOP itself is less suitable for this, because TOP can take literally five minutes to start once Firefox is hogging 100% of the processor. Of course I could also go back to an earlier version of Firefox, and just use Windows for sites (like internet banking) that insist on using the bleeding edge features of browsers. -- Peter Moylan peter at pmoylan.org http://www.pmoylan.org The colour of a fireman's braces is entirely his own business. ----------------------------------------------- To Subscribe/Unsubscribe go to =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This is a pulp free product. **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2018 22:15:55 +1000 From: Subject: Re: Killing Firefox Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hi Peter, Afraid I haven't been contributing much at all to all the OS/2-eCS groups that I'm still subscribed to, and still reading, but am awaiting cataract surgery (halfway into the 12 month waiting list now) but do you have an Android/Samsung Smartphone or tablet? I do all my banking electronically to NAB using their excellent " app ", & I only use the full-desktop version under Chrome when I get a msg to tell me that latest VISA monthly statement is ready to download, and ditto for my Flexi (Retirement/Pension) Savings account, at 6 monthly intervals. One can place an online order for Flexi a/c for a specific nominated period in addition to the standard ones above. I switched to paperless billing last April. The access to statements is not available within the app, but very quick account balances for all accounts are available with a single click on the opened app prior to logging-in. Have to login to app for anything extra. With non CC accounts in app one can change start >> today (or variable end date) allowing slightly under 700 days. At this time one can download *.pdf statements up to 7 years old! Still recovering from a broken right hip in previous October. Have to use the S-Pen Stylus for everything, due to my Parkinson's, I won't bore you with all the other things that have befallen me in recent years Kind Regards to all, especially Peter & Ian.
