User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
Build ID: 20120713134347

Steps to reproduce:

I have a small RAM (~1GB). When most of the RAM is used, and firefox tries to open new pages, it crashes:

https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-a055ce25-04c2-471d-a9bb-bed392120728

Simple to reproduce: I try to fill the RAM with other programs. Then start Firefox and try to open many websites in different tabs. When it reaches the limit, it crashes.


Actual results:

Crash of FF


Expected results:

No crash of FF
Additional info: I deactivated the swap-file in windows.
