I have the same problem too. My system freezes when i browse on facebook. I looked my system monitor/info and i found that firefox has allocated 920MB RAM(!!) and the swap partition is active. I think we have a huge memory leak here.
1. Login to facebook (with firefox 3.0.9 - 3.0.10, ubuntu 9.04) 2. Open System > Administration > System Monitor from gnome panel and look the memory allocation of Firefox 3. Click on Home button (at facebook) and repeat that 10-20 times 4. Look at memory allocation of Firefox -- system freeze on facebook surfing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/358333 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
