SuSE 9.0 Pro. 256MB RAM. When I run Firefox and do a lot of downloading, my swap slowly increases. When it hits 70MB - 100MB my machine basically locks up, except for shell windows which run fine. Firefox will not respond, even if I kill all other killable apps. If I force kill Firefox (kill -9) the swap decreases slightly, but the box remains pretty unresponsive until reboot. Is this a known Firefox problem? Is there anything I can do to alleviate this?
