For me, iceweasel in stable works very well on Fuloong. I did some
testing today for couple hours, three tabs open with "heavy" sites such
as Twitter, Linkedin and newspapers. (I don't have gmail account, though.)

Then I upgraded to testing and tried the same test. It hangs in few
minutes. firefox-bin eats all the CPU and strace looks like this:

madvise(0x6fc17000, 4096, MADV_DONTNEED) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
madvise(0x6fc17000, 4096, MADV_DONTNEED) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
madvise(0x6fc17000, 4096, MADV_DONTNEED) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
madvise(0x6fc17000, 4096, MADV_DONTNEED) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
madvise(0x6fc17000, 4096, MADV_DONTNEED) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
...

And on the second try:

madvise(0x698a5000, 4096, MADV_DONTNEED) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
madvise(0x698a5000, 4096, MADV_DONTNEED) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
madvise(0x698a5000, 4096, MADV_DONTNEED) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
madvise(0x698a5000, 4096, MADV_DONTNEED) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
madvise(0x698a5000, 4096, MADV_DONTNEED) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
...

I'm using 3.5 kernel. I'll see if I can debug this further.
