Something happened to me recently when I was attempting to browse a Gopher site via Firefox...I opened the site, and that site opened another tab to the same site, and so on recursively every ~200mS or so until my computer's RAM was saturated. I had to force terminate Firefox. It was funny because it reminded me of the type of malicious WaReZ that you would see in the 90s.
- no_protocol 9y agoI also had this happen trying to open a PDF in Firefox recently.
- brudgers 9y agoIt will happen if: about:preferences#applications -> Portable Document Format (PDF) -> Use firefox is set. A fix is to set about:preferences#applications -> Portable Document Format (PDF) -> Preview in firefox The problem can be caused (in Ubuntu 16.04) by selecting Firefox as the system default for PDF viewing.
