I am using mozilla on my debian woody system. When my fresh mozilla profile gets
about 2 days old it makes mozilla unstable. After 'some' time, clicking a link
will freeze all open mozilla windows. No cpu activity or network traffic.
Killing Mozilla and deleting the profile fixes the problem. After some time, it
hapens again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use Mozilla until it freezes/crashes
2.delete profile
3.Use Mozilla again until it freezes/crashes

Actual Results:  Mozilla crashes but it's hard to say what the time-span is from
fresh to crash
Keywords: hang
I never had a problem like this with my own .mozilla profile.

The time you run Mozilla for might have something do do with it..
Are you running it continously for days in a row?
What are your system resources (RAM, CPU) when the hang occures?
What happens if you kill mozilla when it hangs and do NOT delete the profile?
(but simply restart it)
Sander, please reopen if you can provide more information. Thanks.
