Re: Firefox stability?

Keep in mind if it does not "crash" and you have enough swap that the
machine will just get so slow as to be useless.

On my firefox leaving the weather channel up will result in that "tab"
eating all of my memory.  This morning it had 3.1GB when I killed it
(10GB machine), and I have had it drive several GB in swap basically
hanging the machine so bad a power cycle is the fastest solution.  The
weather channel paged for me has a been a problem for months.  It
could be a firefox bug or it could be something specific to the web
page causing it.  There are likely other web pages that have the exact
same issue.
