Title:
Clicking on huge image locks/hangs machine (complete loss of
interactivity)
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Note that whilst I've initially filed this against Firefox, it is a
wider cross-stack performance issue (a single application should not
be able to bring the machine down). Clicking on the following image:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/96/Georgetown_PowerPlant_interior_pano.jpg
(27,000✕17,000)
sets the Firefox title, but then immediately locks the machine with
all loss of interactivity.
Ideally Firefox should not undertake activities that are likely to
bring the machine down (such as allocated huge arrays for data that it
has not yet even received) and ideally the rest of the stack down to
the kernel should not let a single application bring the rest down.
(Metadata and a tiled-image viewer for the image can be found at:
