[Bug 126012] Re: Firefox memory usage increases to point of no response
Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10, 8.10 and 9.04 are no longer supported. If this is
still occurring with Firefox 7.0.1 please open a new bug. According to
Mozilla, they have done considerable work to improve memory management
in Firefox 7.
** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)

Title:
Firefox memory usage increases to point of no response
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
Go to http://www.virginradio.co.uk/listen/ and click on "Listen now".
Via System Monitor I'm then able to see Memory increasing quite
rapidly (5MB or more per minute at times, say, and sometimes with very
sizeable quick jumps). Ultimately the music stops, I get no response
from Firefox, and I can only kill it.
This is a brand new installation of Ubuntu 7.04 with all recommended
updates, and nothing additionally loaded that I can think of that
would have a bearing here.
I've implemented various "about:config" changes as recommended by
various web sites I've found, but they don't appear to make a
difference:
browser.cache.memory.capacity integer 8192
config.trim_on_minimize boolean true
Thanks for your time.
Steve
