[Bug 231518] [NEW] System halts when invoking firefox

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When I invoke Firefox, the workload of Ubuntu is going higher and
higher. The workload is around 7.xx or more from system monitor. And
then system halts. (I mean no response to any command, such as poweroff)
Before the system's halt, I still can't see the Firefox window.

I downloaded some plugins of Firefox: such as noscript, download-bar
etc.

I tried to clean ~/.mozilla folder and reinstall firefox. But it didn't
change anything. :-(

The problem can be reproduced every time when Firefox is invoked.

My desktop:
CPU 1.7GHz RAM 384M.
OS: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Firefox 3-beta5

** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
