Hi
First computer : eeebox atom 1,6ghz Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-29-generic-pae i686) Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 >From time to time, with firefox launched and only one tab open, even if the computer is not used, it will use the hard drive at full throttle, making the computer unusable. I attach a screen cap of iotop. Second computer : HP DV6164ea Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 Linux 3.2.0-29-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 Same issue. Sometimes, just selecting a text box uses the hard drive full speed for 10-15sec, making the computer unresponsive, laggy, sluggish. iotop shows the same behavior as with the first computer. I don't remember having the same issues with former firefox versions. same problem ** Attachment added: "Capture du 2012-08-19 20:31:37.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1014234/+attachment/3267846/+files/Capture%20du%202012-08-19%2020%3A31%3A37.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014234 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.
