Ubuntu 13.10, FF 28.0. Did some more testing. Problem indeed starts when you press ALT en type something. Due to my huge bookmark collection hud- service takes 1.3 GB and unity-panel-service 900MB (FF 800MB after start) and for some reason it stalls FF eventhough CPU usage is only 3%. After ending the services FF becomes responsive again.

It's taking anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour, but it sometimes makes the system completely unusable. 1. run Firefox 12.0 in the foreground 2. hit Alt to bring up HUD 3. type any text 4. select one proposal from HUD 5. wait for unity-panel-service and hud-service to fill up the remaining RAM and swap space. This is due to a high number of bookmarks in a user profile (hundreds).
