Hi,

Right here goes, hope this makes sense!!

I have left my machine running 13.10 running all night, with f-fox open 
on you-tube, not playing just open and on night 1 I awoke to a frozen 
machine!!

Night 2 I left it open, same as before except I set a small script to 
write the top 3 lines of 'top' to my-log.txt, this showed that 
plug-in-container (presumably flash as the only other one left enabled 
was Ghostery) gradually crept up in mem usage, until the last log entry 
said 87.6% (of 2.5gib)

So to the OP I think you are correct :) can anybody confirm if this 
happens on Chrome(ium) or if it is a f-fox specific issue, as then I 
know who to moan at ;)

If it is a Flash issue in general, then I will try and raise a bug? with 
Adobe, if it is a f-fox issue the Mozilla will get it!

Your thoughts appreciated.

Regards
