You have been subscribed to a public bug by Marc Deslauriers (mdeslaur): Binary package hint: firefox
Viewing the following page in Firefox always causes the entire system to grind to a halt almost immediately (you have been warned!) - this makes it very difficult to even kill firefox unless you are prepared as it very rapidly becomes virtually impossible to open a terminal window etc. http://www.imperialracingteam.com/imperialracingteam/results0910.html? (Suggest you have a "sleep 300; pkill -KILL firefox" already running in a terminal window before following the link). Memory leak? Whatever it is, it shouldn't be happening... firefox shouldn't be bringing the whole system to its knees like that (regardless of how badly that particular webpage may be designed)! The page is viewable in Chrome. Is this a security vulnerability?
