Firefox 3 doesn't clear memory

[soundconjurer]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

After using the browser for an extended period of time. After closing it, it doesn't clear data from the memory and it seems to leave some Firefox 3 protocols running.

It doesn't do this when I Toolbar>File>Quit. It only does it when clicking on the X-button.

I have to reboot everytime the problem occurs. Restarting the Xserver doesn't help either. After CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE, I get to the Log in window. Sign in, and it gets stuck on a colored background.

FF3 is sabotaging my system at the moment.

It poses as a heavy vulnerability at how FF3 seems to slow after collecting a lot of information from my usage.

I run Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, on an R61 Lenovo Thinkpad.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I haven't had any issues recently.
I can't use Ibex, because it has problems with the sleep mode. The
wireless won't work after waking.

Thank you, Reverend_of_War. Since Hardy and Intrepid use the same firefox version it should also be fixed in Intrepid. Thus I am closing this bug.
