Comment 3 for bug 137764

I have a same bug while using firefox on a X-Terminal with 64 MB of RAM under Ubuntu Dapper. When I load several pictures, the X-Terminal is getting slower and slower until freezing. The mouce does not answer as the keyboard (except SysRQ to reboot).

While attempting to reproduce the bug with gnome-system-monitor opened, the amount of X memory used by firefox is increasing each time a picture is loaded until it reach 60.5 MB, amount of memory used which makes the X-Terminal freezing.

You can reproduce this bug by loading a weather website @ http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/gfs/vent-moyen/3h.htm and rolling the mouse over the left side of weather pictures under the word "Échéance" (a javascript script loads a picture each time you roll a link, and eats about 3 MB of X memory on our X-Terminal)
