Vivaldi Social "locks up" after sitting idle for an hour or more
-
Hey all,
Has anyone experienced an issue with Vivaldi Social locking up after sitting idle for an hour or so (or a little longer)?
I've noticed that when Vivaldi Social sits idle for an hour or so in the Vivaldi browser, it becomes unresponsive and will actually crash the browser. To test this, I decided to run it on Firefox for a day. I purposely let it sit idle for a day and when I came back to it, it was responsive.
This has been happening for quite a while, in different versions of Vivaldi.
Any ideas on why this would happen in Vivaldi but run fine in Firefox?
Thanks!

I always have Vivaldi Social open in some profile in the background and have not noticed it becoming unresponsive let alone crashing.
Could you also test it in a new User Profile in Vivaldi?
Also, does the crash create a crash log? Instructions for locating crash logs can be found on https://help.vivaldi.com/tag/crash-report/.

Thanks for the ideas!
If was a profile issue, would this issue also transfer over to Firefox?
I will definitely check the logs. Thanks!!

If it were an issue with your account profile, then it should be reproducible in Firefox too, but it's more likely a browser profile issue, so testing in a clean user profile with default settings and without extensions is a good way to confirm that.
I had one more thought. I once ran into issues on Mastodon, when I had over 10 tabs of Vivaldi Social open. If you also have Vivaldi Social open in a lot of tabs, try if closing most of the tabs helps.

Thank you, again. I only have one tab open with Vivaldi Social.
