We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. This bug was reported some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.
Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) reached end-of-life on April 28, 2017.
Does anyone still see a problem related to the one that was reported
when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know
if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately
60 days time.
Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
Firefox hogs all memory and swap
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
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.
