638073 - Firegestures: Slows down & endless repeats the last command

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[Game-R]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13

After a while of usage (about 10 hours) the add-on slows down and begins to struggle in identifying gestures. When this happens, Firegestures will get stuck with an issued command in a loop repeating it endlessly. 
For example, when the extension slows down and I draw the gesture to "Close Tab" the Firegestures will repeat it endlessly till all my tabs are lost!
Even scrolling on the tab bar, Firegestures will keep scrolling non-stop and Firefox will become unresponsive. The only way to stop it is to force close Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run Firefox with 10-15 tabs open for about 10 hours or when Firegestures starts to slow down in responsiveness.
2.Draw or run a gesture.
Actual Results:  
Firegestures keeps repeating the last gesture command. Causing Firefox to become unresponsive.

Expected Results:  
Firegesture only executes the gesture command once.

I think this is a Firegestures bug, no a Firefox one. CCing the Firegestures developer.

I've updated to Firefox 4 with a clean new profile and the problem no longer occurs.
