Title:
firefox takes enormous amounts of RAM and swap space, growing until
system crashes
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
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.
