360399 - Firefox locks up for no apparent reason

Status: VERIFIED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Bela Lantos]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

I do not know which sites cause it, but it happens very often. Firefox simply hangs. The list time it happened was when accessing the DeskNow collaboration application I installed on my home machine. Other times it hangs when reading news through www.newsnow.co.uk. I suppose it is to do with Javascript.

I am running Firefox 2.0 on Fedora Core 5 on a Dell Dimension 8400.

Reproducible: Sometimes

I can't reproduce this on Fedora Core 5 or WinXp. What extensions do you have installed? See if you can reproduce this in safe mode with extensions disabled.
