Steps to reproduce:

open about:preferences

Actual results:

I can't scroll down the about:preferences page to change options lower down.
Taskmanager shows that in chunks of about 200Mb per second all available memory gets used up. All the while firefox remains unresponsive.

Disabling all addons doesn't help

Expected results:

Not use up all memory and become functional.
