[Bug 1014234] Re: Firefox hogs all memory and swap

[dwan]

Hi


First computer :
eeebox atom 1,6ghz
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-29-generic-pae i686)
Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1

>From time to time, with firefox launched and only one tab open, even if
the computer is not used, it will use the hard drive at full throttle,
making the computer unusable. I attach a screen cap of iotop.

Second computer :
HP DV6164ea
Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1
Linux 3.2.0-29-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP x86_64

Same issue. Sometimes, just selecting a text box uses the hard drive
full speed for 10-15sec, making the computer unresponsive, laggy,
sluggish. iotop shows the same behavior as with the first computer.

I don't remember having the same issues with former firefox versions.

same problem
