1015120 - Very slow starting of Thunderbird when font in autoconfig.js is predefined

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[tg]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131021230807

Steps to reproduce:

We predefind font configuration in autoconfig.js like:

lockPref("msgcompose.font_face", "Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular");
lockPref("msgcompose.font_size", "medium");
lockPref("font.default", "Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular");
lockPref("font.default.x-unicode", "Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular");
lockPref("font.default.x-western", "Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular");




Actual results:

In this configuration startup of Thunderbird is > 30 secs. If we define a single font instead of a font-family the sympton is the same.

The sympton appears with Thunderbird Version 24.1.0 and higher on Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1


Expected results:

Setting of fonts in autoconfig.js should not slow down the startup.

just to be clear, 
a) how many seconds do you get without specifying font?
b) did it not happen with TB17?
