    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?

    Thanks,
