Using 13.10. I have thousands of bookmarks in firefox 28.0. I disabled the unity extensions in Firefox. Most of the times it works okay, and I did not have the problem on earlier versions of Ubuntu. But lately Hud-service and unity-panel-service reach gigabytes of ram, totally stalling my computer. I do not understand what triggers it. It even happens if I did not use the HUD. Unity Panel service now is more than 1 gig and I cannot end the process anymore in system monitor.

In privacy settings I disbabled:
- use of file and app usage
- internet search results
- I excluded the firefox webbrowser

So why is it still collection browser information?
