Firefox crashes and uses lot of memory

[oscar]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

After I installed 8.04 with FFb5 I have had a lot of trouble.

Firefox takes 300-500 mb of memory with some add-ons enabled and around 300mb without any plugins.

It also crashes alot. When I change tab, open a new tab and when when i just click an link or scroll the page.
This is better after I turned off my plugins but it is still very slow and uses a lot of memory.

There are some problems with handling sessions aswell. When it crashes and I want to restore my session I get a old session with like the "standard before-crash" tabs. No matter which of this I closed and which I opened during my new session.

Sorry for any bad english.

Are you using flash? If so it's probably caused by 192888

Can you please try to obtain a backtrace of your crash by following the
instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs
If you are unablet o obtain a crash report please let us know and let us
know why so we can help you along with this.

Matthew,
To beable to say this is caused by the same as that bug we need a crash
report that leads that way. Although we will never get a good crash with
flash crashes we need to beable to say its not gecko or not something else.

until we know for sure that firefox is the intruder.

It's been 6 months since a backtrace was requested, so I'm assuming we're not going to get one. It is likely a dupe of 192888, which has been marked fix-released/invalid across the board.

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!
