Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue
for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04?
Thanks in advance.
** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)

Bug description:
Firefox freezes using multitabs and let to sit
Sequence is as
follows:
using: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820
Firefox/3.0.1
Using tabbed Firefox browser

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.scuba/topics?hl=en&lnk
http://news.google.com
http://www.drudgereport.com/
http://news.google.com/nwshp?hl=en&tab=wn
http://www.wbgo.org/listennow/index.php
http://www.wonkette.com/
http://www.wbgo.org/listennow/wbgo.m3u
tabbed session starts at ~ 70 MB
- now either start switching between these windows
as you add windows, mem usage creeps up
one extra window == 86.5 meg
Kill window, same 86.5 meg
in a minute mem goes down to 86.1
click on a news story / go into a new page mem suddenly 91.5 meg
Let sit 1 minute
"arrow back" to main URL on tab, ==89.2 Meg
still one Firefox window
pop up another window on a news story ( 2 windows, one tabbed one not) == 91.2
Meg mem used
click on another news story, third window == 97.5 meg
let sit 20 minutes == mem usage is 102 megabytes
URL http://www.wbgo.org/listennow/wbgo.m3u has stopped reacting or producing
sound (Music)
kill that window
screen suddenly turns grey, system monitor says firefox is using 103.2
megabytes
System Monitor says firefox is sleeping
Firefox does not respond to cursor except to minimize screens
System using only 354 meg of 1 Gig and 25% cpu being used by system
"continue process" on system monitor does not restore app.
App still grey and unresponsive
click on tabs
Message
"The wi
ndow "FT.com / In depth - Panic grips credit markets - Mozilla Firefox"
is not responding.
Forcing this application to quit will cause you to lose any unsaved
changes."
Screen is still grey
