[Bug 145613] this website causes firefox to keep taking memory

[walter.80]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

The following web site causes firefox (on Linux Ubuntu 7.04 or 2.0.7 on
WindowsXP) to keep taking memory. Eventually RAM is exhausted and
swapping begins. This causes the computers to become unusable. As far as
I know, firefox does not crash, but it does need to be killed. When
viewing the same site with IE, a large amount of memory is used, but it
eventually stops taking memory.
