I'm seeing Firefox occupying increasing memory every time I go to a new site, as if it was caching it in RAM, but not freeing it when I leave and close the window. This is new behavior, -maybe- only after upgrading to 9.04, or latest Firefox upgrade. It'll go to the point of filling my 4 GB RAM, then apparently start thrashing the swap file, with Firefox essentially frozen. Only way to get RAM back is to close Firefox, watch cleanup run and RAM return to normal ( < 500 MB used, no swap. )
It's "only" a performance annoyance, but as a 40+ year programmer I'm inclined to view it as a probable indication of a serious problem in Firefox or it's interface with memory management. -- Firefox memory usage increases to point of no response https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126012 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
