405164 - about:config infinite loops in jsviewOverlay.js

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Fabien Tassin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/2007112318 Minefield/3.0b2pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/2007112318 Minefield/3.0b2pre

While using about:config (no particular action, just browsing the list or changing tab), CPU spikes freezing the browser for about 20sec, before the "Unresponsive Script" popup kicks in. If I kill and debug the script, venkman shows me:

#0: function anonymous() in <chrome://jsview/content/jsviewOverlay.js> line 576

574: cssarray.sort();
575: for (var i=0; i<cssarray.length-1; ++i) {
576: while (cssarray[i]==cssarray[i+1]) {            <======
577: cssarray.splice(i,1);
578: }

csarray seems to contain only cssarray[0] = "chrome://global/skin/config.css"

Reproducible: Always

I'm still having this. Recent trunk also shows in the popup:

Script: chrome://jsview/content/jsviewOverlay.js:576

This is with:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008010401 Firefox/3.0b3pre

100% reproducible when changing tab from about:config.
