Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe, i've to report this to Mozilla too!!!!!
If you click on the link, all or almost all the memory of your PC will be
eaten!!!!!
If you save the link's target everything goes well, but if you click on
the link, not even TorButton protects you!!!! Firefox could crash!!!!! and
that isn't what i could expect after clicking a
link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It works because Firefox will automatically attempt to decompress that big
file (8MB) in the RAM!!!!!! There is only one problem though!!!!!!! I made
that file in this way:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=8120 | tr '\000' 'A' | gzip >
difficult.to.eat.gz (well the file name could be anything!!)
It's very big once decompressed!!!!!! 8GB!!!!!! And i also think that
FireFox would use much more than only 8GB of memory to decompress
it!!!!!!! So, Firefox wants all the memory of your PC!!!!
Anyway, saving the link works!!!!!!! I don't know why, when you download
the link, Firefox saves the compressed file, but when you click on it,
firefox attempts to open it and decompress it on-fly!!!!!!!!
Now you know why Factorbee has updated versions of Firefox!!!!!!!!!
Because they have bug fixes!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Torproject's
browser bundles have very old, super bugged firefox versions!!!!!! I'll
update factorbee tomorrow with the latest version of firefox!!!!!
bye!!!!!!!!!!
