Heyya,
My Firefox crashed sometime. Been like this since forever I think. Didn't bother to look at it until a few days ago when I think "hey I commonly sees this crashing but why other didn't flame the net about it?". So I went out to search for answers.
Then I found that this is not application or OpenBSD issue, but rather limited default setting. Firefox is quite a resource hog and by default, the datasize limit is set for 512Mb, which is by Firefox, quite low.
So I edited /etc/login.conf and find the default setting like below:
default:\
*snipped*
:datasize-max=512M:\
:datasize-cur=512M:\
*snipped*

:datasize-max=512M:\
:datasize-cur=512M:\

and changed the value to:
default:\
*snipped*
:datasize-max=2048M:\
:datasize-cur=1024M:\
*snipped*
As I have about 4Gb of ram, this setting should be ok. So far this setting is ok and Firefox haven't crashed yet. Later.
