I'm seeing something very similar, but it -seems- related to how may sites I visit, as if Firefox was caching in RAM and not freeing when tab closes. If I let it, it will fill 4 GB RAM, then semi-hang while thrashing the swap file.
Also reported as launchpad bug # 126012. This system is routinely suspended, and almost always has Firefox AND Thunderbird open. I mention Thunderbird because I'd just been watching RAM use climb for no apparent reason with just those two open, so closed Thunderbird and the RAM eating stopped, then did NOT resume when I re- opened Thunderbird. -- Firefox 3 memory use explodes by itself randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314424 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
