I too have been plagued by this bug for months, but I think I have something (useful) to add. It doesn't seem to matter how many tabs I have open, but if YahooMail is one of them, I experience the following: Memory use gradually creeps (about 5MB/min) until it maxes out (2GB), then the swap starts growing. Once the available RAM approaches 0, the system becomes terribly unresponsive.
However, if I close YahooMail, there is no noticeable increase in memory use after leaving Firefox open overnight. Firefox 3.0.12 Ubuntu 8.10 Hope that helps! -- 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
