Title:
Firefox hogs all memory and swap
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu 12.04 i386 on thinkpad x41
The installed firefox often hang and hog all memory and swap. Most
times when a flasvideo is running, the whole computer stopped then.
Sometimes it is possible to switch to a console, there after 10
minutes for login (its really that slow) TOP shows that firefox and a
plugin-container process eat all ram and then all swap. After 15min or
else a dialog "jscript hanging" appears on the desktop, when stopped
the memory comes back. Firefox turns to normal operation until next
hang.
