I noticed some obscure Firefox behavior recently. When using multiple tabs and switching between them, eventually Firefox becomes less responsive, the disk starts spinning like crazy, Firefox keeps eating memory and the page file grows at about 5-10MB per second. I have once had Firefox block over 1GB of swap space. At the same time, the CPU doesn't seem to do much and only killing the Firefox process in the Task Manager gets the system back to normal. I hope there will be a patch for post-1.0.4 versions.

Wow. And I thought that something was wrong with my computer whenever this happened to me. I'm glad to know it was Firefox and not my computer.
