Problem Firefox (Web Content) eats up huge memory, on Debian (testing, AMD64).
Question Does anybody run into same situation? How to troubleshoot?
Troubleshooting So far, I have not found what triggers this situation. Killing "Web Content" crashes some open tab, but inconsistent. I have several Debian's around. It looks like only one of them is affected.
With web search, I have found several sites, which are several years old. mozilla site says "update firefox". StackExchange site explains what goes on, and use noScript plugIn. The former is of not much help, the latter works with side effect, -Javascript does not work!- so not practical.
I am wondering if anybody else runs into same situation. And can anybody direct me to next step?
cheers
