Oh, I just remember what my problem with firefox on T60/T61 is/was: these machines have 3
or 4GB RAM, ~ 20 tabs of firefox are sufficient to eat all physical memory. Without swap
this leads either to firefox crashing (when I am lucky) or to an immediate freeze. With
swap, the system get slower and slower like walking through a tarpit and eventually lock
up completely while busy swapping. I solved this by setting "ulimit -H -m
2000000", so firefox gets killed when it exeeds ~ 2GB. Well, maybe a soft limit would
be better :)

No KSysGuard. But the problem occured more often
when I had firefox
running.
Hm.. For me as well, it certainly does feel like having Firefox (firefox-esr)
open has increased the likelihood of it happening. I mentioned that it
happened in Firefox, Kmail, Steam, etc.. but I think in all instances of it
freezing (while in use, not after resuming from suspend) I had Firefox open.
