1170122 - showAlertNotification freezes Firefox on KDE5 for 25s

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[[:wobbling3447]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
Build ID: 20150515071002

Steps to reproduce:

- Install KeeFox (and all it needs).
- Open up Firefox (fresh start)
- Rightclick + Click "Generate new Password". This triggers the following code in the extension:

Components.classes['@mozilla.org/alerts-service;1'].
                      getService(Components.interfaces.nsIAlertsService).
                      showAlertNotification("chrome://keefox/skin/KeeFox24.png", title, text, enableClick, '', callback);

See here for more details:

Actual results:

Firefox + Plasma 5 freezes for ~25s and then shows the desired notification.
The following gets written to .xsession-errors:

(firefox:1246): libnotify-WARNING **: Failed to connect to proxy


Expected results:

The notification should appear instantly.

Hi xpumax.sl, 

Thanks for reporting this issue. Try updating your Firefox version 39 if you haven't already. 

Are you still encountering this issue?

Hi,

I have reinstalled my system since reporting this bug and am not using KeeFox anymore.

But as far as I remember the bug was gone the last time I used KeeFox.
