Replicated with fresh (but upgraded to current state) 32 and 64 lucid instances - on both VMs firefox was started in safe-mode.
As per the apport wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport/: I executed `sudo service apport start force_start=1' prior to firefox launch. However apport was not started, so I *cannot* provide the information that is required to submit a valid bug. Nor is it possible to examine about:memory as firefox is not longer with us. The best I can do is collect apport information on one of the VM instances - bug 1019094. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018263 Title: exhaustive memory leak To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1018263/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
