Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
I downloaded the new beta Firefox from Mozilla (firefox-3.0b1.tar.bz2) and installed it to /opt. I ran it only a short while, less than a minute, and it went crazy on me. My hard drive thrashed as it filled about 500 megs of swap file before I could kill -15 it. I had to go to a virtual terminal to get a command line to even use my computer it had purged all my buffers making the GUI impossible to use. I was on maybe three popular web pages. This doesn't seem like rational behaviour at all. Disclaimer: I realise this isn't specifically Ubuntu related as it's not a supported package, but after googling briefly this was the only place I could find to report my bug. ** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Firefox 3.0 beta 1 fills my available memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164375 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
