Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Catalin Suciu [:csuciu]]

Attachment: logOOM.txt

Nightly 36.0a1 (2014-10-20)
So far I was able to reproduce this only on Galaxy Note 3 (4.4.2) while browsing on one of these sites:
www.ziare.com
www.news.com
www.hotnews.ro

Steps:
1. Visit any of the sites listed above
2. Long tap on a few titles (~5) and open in new tabs
3. Switch between tabs and scroll to the end of the page on every article  

Results: Eventually process org.mozilla.fennec will die due to OOM

Browsing to cmxlog.com/12/hlte will also cause Firefox to close due to OOM on Galaxy Nexus 3 with Android 4.4.2 .Simply wait for the page to load completely.

Does Fennec work OK if you disable plugins?
