limits for run away Firefox ?

[Julian H. Stacey]

Hi hackers
I'm tired of my X server occasionaly freezing, swap thrasing, & firefox dumps:
	4,346,937,344 ~/firefox-bin.core
so as a temporary cludge I ran
	touch ~/firefox-bin.core ; chmod 000  ~/firefox-bin.core
I could put X users in another group, & reduce limits, per
	man login.conf ... RESOURCE LIMITS
suggestions of values welcome.

Yes 7.1 is old, thats my screen server, till I complete local builds of
7.2 & 8.0 on other boxes., then I'll upgrade, but I'll still want firefox 
though I see firefox is still troublesome eg
	uname -r # 8.0-RELEASE
	cd /usr/ports/www/firefox/Makefile ; make
	make	# ===>  firefox-2.0.0.20_9,1 is forbidden:
		 too many security issues 
	cd ../firefox3 ; make	# is OK, & runs on 8.0 i686, but on
	amd64 fails with
		GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
so I'm pausing for perspective, comment invited :-)

Cheers,
Julian
