Hi,
Last December I reported this problem on my laptop, and now my desktop also exhibits it.
After several days running, this morning it locked as soon as I changed workspaces. I noticed kswapd0 was busy long time, and that firefox had about 10 gigs of virtual memory. The disk activity led was solid blue. I couldn't find out more, the machine froze and had to be hard rebooted.
A week before it also froze, but that time I could not observe anything.
I have noticed firefox on occasion to decide to use all the memory it could find and had to kill/restart firefox, but never to the point of requiring a reboot. but I have no swap and 36gb of memory.
I had no chance to kill firefox, system froze while I tried to issue the command. The laptop has 4 gigs, the desktop has 8, so it takes longer to crash. I might have to start firefox with ulimit, but I don't know what limits to give it.
but you don't say which system version or DT or firefox
Yes, I do. See signature. Firefox is the default version that comes with it: MozillaFirefox-60.4.0-lp150.3.30.1.x86_64 Desktop is XFCE. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
