Bug Description
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.
