Bug Description

Binary package hint: bindwood

It also uses half of my swap partition. Screen shot attached.

I disabled all other firefox addons and it still causes the massive memory leak. System becomes unresponsive firefox greys out.
Have to use killall firefox to regain control. Memory then returns to normal.

I had to use ubuntu-bug without bindwood installed in order to submit a bug report.
