[Bug 724644] [NEW] system ( KDE running ) "frozen"

[m]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I have installed Ubuntu via Wubi ( NTFS is hosting filesystem ) , default installation. Later , have KDE installed too.
Have over 1000 Mb RAM and I found active swap of 200 Mb.
Firefox was loading probably too large page ( GNOME's bugzilla search ).
I noticed , that firefox is consuming all available memory , and entire system is "frozen".
I was logged on the system via SSH , but that session also stops responding ( but it was not disconnected ).
I suspect , that some default values affecting "no free memory" status was set wrong ( may be serious problem of Wubi ) in default installation of Ubuntu.
Bug #625367 may be similar to mine.
I will try to reproduce the error , if needed ( my system will freeze , I think ).
