Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Whenever I access http://www.jeevansathi.com/ firefox swells up, occupying 100+ MB of RAM and slowing down the system like hell. Firefox becomes unresponsive as well. The only way out of the mess is to switch to a virtual console and kill firefox and firefox-bin.

Page opens fine in google chrome.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
