Comment 10 for bug 215728

OK, I just ran firefox in safe mode and just left it at my home page http://www.phys.ufl.edu/fermisurface/ After a while, it started using CPU and using the hard disk, although memory usage according to htop didn't skyrocket. Completely closing firefox takes a while once the "thrashing" has started: more than it takes to close the window as if it were doing some I/O operations after that. The system goes back to normal as soon as it is closed.

It would be great if some other could confrim or deny what I'm seeing here.
