Nope - it doesn't - I'm patched up to date running Jaunty with FF 3.0.13 Top shows Firefox eating resources when there is constant disk access. This seems to be triggered by downloading pictures or videos or when the update manager is active. It doesn't happen when surfing text pages. I suspect its some sort of contention when helper aplications are running and downloading files from the net.
If I stop Firefox completely (often have to kill the Download pop-up) and then re-start problem goes away. I'm running on a desktop with limited resource - 256 Mb memory but tons of disk space. NVIDIA graphics, single 1 ghz processor. Problem is it used to run fine with FF 2 and Ubuntu 8, and OK with Ubuntu 9 and FF 2 ! FF 3 is therefore guilty ? Anyone else out there with a similar story - please don't tell me to upgrade my PC - that's on the way ! -- Firefox freezes Jaunty while typing in address bar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366705 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
