Tor hangs when I try to access guardian.com Cartoons with 5 tabs open (cartoon page + 4 cartoons)
I have an Apple MacBook Pro made in 2010. This is model MacBookPro6,2
This model has 2 graphics processors, the Intel CPU (which works) and an NVIDIA GeForceTeslaGL card (which is a problem). The NVIDIA card on MacBooks from 2010 to 2012 either fails with age, or has become unable to process newer graphics, and causes the Macbook to crash. I downloaded an app that disables the NVIDIA graphics card, and the Macbook does not crash, but Torbrowser crashes. I sent in several crash logs, but no one could replicate the result (one must be running a Macbook pro from 2010 - 2012).
The chip seems to be getting worse. And Tor crashes if the NVIDIA chip is disabled.
This happens with certain sites (like the Guardian cartoon pages) if I open multiple tabs, and sometimes with just one or two tabs open.
I am running Capitan 10.11.6 with 8 GB of memory.
Torbrowser is 6.5.2 (based on Mozilla Firefox 45.9.0)
