Public bug reported: Memory overflow and higher CPU usage happened twice in two situations:
1. When application started, with just the tiled page and a local help file "file:///usr/share/doc/python3.4/html/library/index.html" pinned; 2. After opening some tabs with some bookmarked/recent visited pages in the tiles. In less than a minute opened, it was noticed the lack of responsiveness. After a quick check in the System Monitor process list (screen shot attached), Firefox was taking 4.5GB RAM and using 25% CPU (a dedicated core).
