Bzzz,
We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.
Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an
issue? Can this bug report now be closed?
If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in
approximately 60 days time.
Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
firefox takes enormous amounts of RAM and swap space, growing until
system crashes
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
On my T400 with 2GB of RAM / 7GB of swap, the current beta12 of
firefox takes easily up to 1 GB of RAM and swap combined; I have also
observed amounts of up to 1GB RAM _AND_ 4GB of Swap yesterday. The
system (of course) gets incredibly laggy because of somewhat silly I/O
sizes, which creates full HDD load at the rate of less than 1 MB/s of
throughput. A system load of 20/15/10 (2 cores) rapidly occurs.
Moreover, mouse movement gets choppy and mouse acceleration stops
working, keyboard inputs are barely accepted.
