Severity should be: High OK, this is not GOOD thing Bill Nottingham! I've created this bug specially for Fedora Linux to fix it, not for Firefox developers! Explain: Bug is exploiting vulnerability of Linux system and do it unstable!!! This should be fixed FIRST OF ALL ON LINUX LEVEL then on Firefox!!! If you will ignore such bugs you will never build a stable, solid system!!! For me this bug is critical for securing Linux from other software components working on top. Components (software as FireFox, etc.) should never be able to crash the system SUCH way! This is very important, very serious and easy enough to reproduce! FF now becoming really unstable because of speed which it's building it's new versions, but this is another story. I have reported the bug on Linux hoping you can understand the potential insecurity from Linux side allowing software to crash whole system. I cannot edit this bug but: Bug should be assigned to Fedora developers not to Firefox Bug is critical for security and stability of the Linux system Bug severity should be HIGH Firefox should not do any changes until it will be fixed on Linux. Expected crash should be: Crash in FireFox, the rest of the system should work smoothly. Radamanf, if the bug is here, it is still assigned to Fedora developers. The Firefox bugzilla is at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ not here. Changing the component just means that the bug is assigned to the Fedora developers who specialize in that area, in this case, Firefox. However, Fedora ships Firefox but in Fedora 14, it is version 3.6.x; Fedora does not ship Firefox 4 in Fedora 14. Where are you getting this from? Hi Bill, I'm sorry for my impolite behaviour, I though you just throw me away. I've downloaded latest version from mozilla.com at the time where it was issued, I've tried to downgrade FF to 3.6.x original but unsuccessfully. Anyway I try to insist that this problem is not a FF only. Just now I've try to copy 4.9GB of data (about 800k of files) and on 4.2Gb copying process hangs, but I still can perform some operations but very slowly. Should wait 2-3 min to get respond. Then I check htop and my memory was overflown. I try to kill as many porocess as I can, then eventually after killing about everything except console and nautilus eventually wait for another few min and copy process disappeared, presumably all files are copied. So if it's not enough RAM then system works ridiculously slow. And for some reason it eats a lot of RAM too. (memory leaks) I have a screen-shot. Created attachment 512469 [details]
Hang during files copy
Reporter, do you still see this bug, in the latest Firefox 12? If so, please reopen the bug. Fixed in newver versions. Thanks. |
