Palemoon crashes when multiple tabs opened

[Member andfree]

Hi. Sometimes, when I have opened multiple tabs, Pale Moon crashes when I open this page in a new tab.

$ palemoon

Hi, could you provide a bit more details – palemoon version, how did you install it, are any add-ons active, private browsing mode, etc.
Is this behaviour reproducible? Could you write down CPU/RAM usage before trying to open this webpage and the crash happening?
Was there a recent mesa update in your system?

My guess is that the drawing the rotating wind-mills is too much for your CPU with several other tabs opened.
Could you try to block them with some firefox-options and/or add-ons?

Thanks for the reply.
Pale Moon version: 32.0.0 (32-bit)
I think I installed it via Package Installer (the other possibility is via terminal).
Add-ons: Only “Toggle JavaScript 1.2.2.010”
No private browsing mode.
As I wrote, it happens when multiple tabs are already opened.
I don’t remember if there was a recent mesa update.
For the rest, I need time.

Now, I can’t reproduce it. I have opened the page in more than 30 tabs, but Pale Moon refuses to crash for me.

Hm, that should actually be a good news, right?

Perhaps. I suppose I can only wait & see if it occurs again. Thanks for your help.
