I recently reinstalled FreeBSD because of issues I couldn't fix (It was constantly panicking, even in SU mode), and now, after rebuilding my whole setup, Firefox is giving me problems. I thought it could be a bug in the most recent version, so I switched to firefox-esr, same results.
The process /usr/local/lib/firefox starts eating more and more RAM when Firefox is in use. Even if I quit Firefox, this process stays and keeps eating RAM. I can't kill it, not even with the root user. It soon gets to the point where my machine can no longer operate properly and I'm forced to reboot. This is an underpowered (for today's standards) laptop with only 1.5G of RAM, so this is a huge deal.
Has anyone been experiencing anything similar?
Thanks, everyone.
