Please check you proxy settings and try changing it to "No Proxy" if you can. Worked for me!

I have similar problems. I have a bunch of tabs open as well as 4 to 6 firefox windows open with 14 or more tabs open in each firefox. This machine worked perfectly with Ubuntu 8.04 and Firefox 3.0.4 and I never had any problems except for firefox just closing all windows after it had run for 5 or 6 days. I would just restart firefox and restore the session. However since I updated to Ubuntu 8.10, same machine, same hardware memory etc. Firefox locks up and you cannot do anything but 'killall -I firefox' and then restart it. But worse yet is that after firefox is running for more than 10 or so hours it starts to slow down and then again the only way to fix it is to killall. I have checked other applications and they all work and are unaffected, this only seems to happen with firefox. I do find it strange that it is so much worse in Ubuntu 8.10. Any ideas?
