[Bug 223838] [NEW] Firefox crashes and uses lot of memory

[oscar]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

After I installed 8.04 with FFb5 I have had a lot of trouble.

Firefox takes 300-500 mb of memory with some add-ons enabled and around
300mb without any plugins.

It also crashes alot. When I change tab, open a new tab and when when i just click an link or scroll the page.
This is better after I turned off my plugins but it is still very slow and uses a lot of memory.

There are some problems with handling sessions aswell. When it crashes
and I want to restore my session I get a old session with like the
"standard before-crash" tabs. No matter which of this I closed and which
I opened during my new session.

Sorry for any bad english.
