Bug#306537: Firefox unexpectedly disappears without prompting
>> My system has 256MB RAM, which, coming from Windows 2000 a few months ago, >> I consider a lot of RAM. Windows never needed to use all of it. > Did you ever have 40 IE windows open? I never came back to this bug because your comment annoyed me so much by its mistaken presumption that I used IE on Windows when what I'd meant is that Firefox on the same computer running Windows never needed this much RAM. Anyway, I am long past that. I haven't seen this behaviour on Iceweasel / Firefox for a long long time so I'll close thig bug. Pete Boyd

Actually, I won't close this as there are others reporting in this bug about it happening with the latest Firefox.

I confirm this bug. It is impossible to use iceweasel since I upgraded from etch to lenny. I think it should be a critical bug, because iceweasel 3.0.1 is completely useless now. About the amount of tabs open - I can have normally open 15 windows with 20 tabs in each window which makes 300 tabs in galeon, and everything works perfectly stable. If iceweasel cannot handle more than 40 then indeed it's a shame. Now to some useful info: I created a new account on my comp to see if iceweasel crashes with clean config. And interestingly it didn't occur. And flash didn't work either (but I have flash installed systemwide - I have 32bit machine). OTOH, when on my account (where iceweasel crashes) I did `rm -rf ~/.firefox ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.iceweasel` the iceweasel was still crashing and flash was working. This is so strange to debug. -- # Janek Kozicki -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

> That's a lot of tabs, how much memory does your system have? Check you > dmesg and see if you see any lines like "OOM Killer". if technically thats a lot of tabs for Firefox then thats a shame, as its easy to have that many open - if I read Slashdot there's a load of interesting stories each day, which may lead on to others, I don't get the time to read them all so they stay open, the next day there's a load more interesting stories, the open tabs just grow! My system has 256MB RAM, which, coming from Windows 2000 a few months ago, I consider a lot of RAM. Windows never needed to use all of it. dmesg says nothing about "OOM Killer"
Bug#306537: Firefox unexpectedly disappears without prompting
Package: mozilla-firefox Version: 1.0.2-3 Severity: important Debian flavour: testing Firefox unexpectedly closes down without any prompting. Its been doing this for months, initially I'd leave it open overnight with perhaps between 15 and 40 tabs open, spread throughout a couple of windows and some mornings I'd return to it and Firefox would have disappeared. I haven't seen that in a while but recently I'll be doing something in another application and Firefox just disappears in a similar way. I _think_ but I can't be at all conclusive about this, that it might only do this when I'm using Synaptic. thats the feeling I have but I've not been able to pay close enough attention to it to really know. This happens about maybe once a week. The computer stays on almost constantly, with an occasional reboot to clean it up when Firefox has been open a long time with a lot of tabs as it makes the system dead slow. This is a stock Debian Testing copy of Firefox, no extensions/themes installed.

That's a lot of tabs, how much memory does your system have?
