Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.6-1
Severity: important
When I save a page with multiple elements on it, or save multiple pages
with a few elements on it, or just save the elements (graphics mainly, I
guess), iceweasel starts to slow my system down. If I catch it quickly
enough, I can stop the slowdown by shutting down iceweasel then
restarting it. If not, the systems becomes increasingly unresponsive
until it eventually hangs or spontaneously reboots.
This is a real pain right now because I'm submitting online job
applications and I save a copy of each job ad locally. The pages aren't
the most visual things I've ever seen, but even saving one appears to be
sufficient to start the slowdown.
I've noticed the same thing on other sites where I don't save the page -
just individual elements from the page.
Simply browsing without saving doesn't trigger the problem. It's the
saving locally that seems to be the culprit. And it appears to become
noticeable somewhere at around 10 - 20 files saved.
