Default Win7 comodo Opera and dropmyrights.

I've been running firefox thru dropmyrights for years.
Win7 Ultimate -32
Over the last few updates, firefox has become increasingly
unstable. With many pages open, it takes naps and does
nothing for a minute or so. Then it burps, reloads
the window and tries again. Sometimes it goes back
to napping. Other times it starts working normally.

Got fed up and installed opera. It is behaving itself
nicely.

When I tried to implement dropmyrights,
every page crashes before loading anything:

"Page crashed. Unfortunately, something caused this page
to quit. it might have been an extensions confilict or
some other reason. Try reloading the page...."

Reloading gets the same message.
I disabled comodo firewall and antivirus.
Now, Opera loads the page, but major portions are
missing. On bensbargains.com, All of the text is missing.
Some of the graphics/images are there, otheres are
missing. View page source puts up the crash message.
Sometimes, I can click a link to a product and its
page seems to be correct.

All I did was change the shortcut to start
through dropmyrights with the opera start directory.
C:\apw\dropmyrights\DropMyRights.exe "C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe"
Start in: "C:\Program Files\Opera"
I have no extensions installed.
Google found me nothing.

Ideas?

I don't know anything about DropMyRights and compatibility issues.

One comment I would make about Firefox, is Electrolysis (multiple
executable processes) has been in usage for a few releases. This
was an attempt by Firefox, to match the multiple processes that
Chrome uses.

Originally, Firefox was just one process. I counted around 16-18 threads,
and they were static (not forked on the fly or anything). Now, Firefox
could use as many as four processes.

You could look in "about:config" and see if Electrolysis can
be disabled.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis

"A user-facing checkbox is available for controlling Electrolysis
functionality. Open Preferences and check the "Enable multi-process"
checkbox and then restart your browser"

https://wiki.mozilla.org/File:E10s-t...references.png

Perhaps that article will point you at a control for it.

Other than that, all I can think of is disabling
Hardware Acceleration, as there is a setting to get
the GPU to composite the web page constantly (60 times
a second).

FireFox doesn't do that here. No problems at all.
