Is firefox known to be less stable on a linux distro? I've had a good deal of crashes so I'm wondering whether it's me or everyone.
Thanks in advance.
No, I highly doubt that. With Linux though, especially if you use Ubuntu, it's a lot bulkier in computer resources, if you are using a partition to run a dual boot with Linux and another boot system on your computer, then you may have not allocated enough swap memory, or a number of other issues.
One of the admins here I would suggest you go ask (Solidus), he uses Linux on a daily basis, and knows quite a bit about Linux. He can point you in the right direction for optimizing your Linux I'm sure. Does your entire system freeze? And you should try running Linux for an extended period of time without opening the internet in a web browser, or testing a different web browser that uses less CPU in your "top" command line.
My issue with Linux was that my core temps seemed to be getting too high, and I never could figure it out, I even removed a few packs, and used Ailurus for memory optimization.
