Title:
viewing page causes memory leak followed by system lockup
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
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.

(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.
