[Bug 235144] [NEW] FF3 randomly locks up, creates sleeping processes that take up over 88 MB of memory

[chicobo329]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Occasionally Firefox locks up with no provocation. This happens
regardless of the webpage I'm on. Sometimes it's a hassle to force quit
firefox if it locks up. Attempting to restart Firefox sometimes makes
sleeping processes in the background, sometimes using as much as 88 MB
of memory. Sometimes still, Firefox will refuse to load up, instead
creating sleeping background processes, multiple retries making multiple
processes.

These problems happen randomly, I apologize that I cannot pinpoint how
or when this happens.
