User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20141107030202

Steps to reproduce:

- restarted with latest nightly (10 windows with MANY tabs/pages each)
- read some tabs (slashdot, drudge, breitbart)
- when I switched to the theblaze.com tab, page came up, started scroll and FF locked up
- switching to other windows ( I have KDE setup to group all FF windows), each was blank, including the on that stalled when I returned to it

This was the first time for this sort of problem -- no idea how to reproduce --  reporting it in case it re-occurs...



Actual results:

lockup/stall

$ strace -p 16180
Process 16180 attached
futex(0x7fb9b568280c, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 382541, NULL
^CProcess 16180 detached
 <detached ...>
$ strace -p 16292
Process 16292 attached
futex(0x7f175af373cc, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 43, NULL
^CProcess 16292 detached
 <detached ...>
 $ strace -p 32365
Process 32365 attached
futex(0x7f7bbebd5e8c, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 9, NULL
^CProcess 32365 detached
 <detached ...>

so I killed FF & restarted.


Expected results:

keep running
Reproducible, though not sure what triggers it... bumping severity to major because it's unacceptable to have to restart every few minutes.

Get this on the konsole when it happens:

When killing FF, I get:

[14]+  Exit 137                ff
Severity: normal → major
moved to Blocker because each restart is worse than the one before.  Totally unusable now...
I don't update every day, so this occurred between the 10/24 and the http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-36.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 version as downloaded at 16:26 EST on 11/07/14.
Severity: major → blocker
Attached image FFbug1095683.jpg — 
Note that KDE reports that 10 windows should be open; but only 2 are visible in the group (title bar) -- for some reason, KDE is not grouping the remaining windows -- did a recent update change the title bar in a way to destroy grouping?

Whenever I go to another window, all I get is the spinner; have to switch to another tab and back to get contents -- this may be intended to minimize startup overhead; but FF should get the current page, not wait for the user to switch back into the active page.

Yeah, these comments should be new bug reports; but I'm more concerned with the hang/stall...

I doubt this is helpful; but in case...

After many restarts, they are being grouped again; but the hangs happen moments after startup.  Using a FF/Wine to update this report.
Appears to be due to libflashplayer.so

Removing it stops the hangs; but now there's no way to play videos; even using "Video WithOut Flash 1.4.3".
