1190652 - hang in scriptable plugin call causes no slow script or plugin hang UI to show

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

I was trying to reproduce what the reporter was seeing in bug 1129174 so modified our test plugin to have a call that would hang. After minutes of both the content and plugin processes being hung Firefox never gave me any UI to deal with the hang.

There are already both hang() (100 seconds) and stall(seconds) methods in the test plugin.

I wasn't able to reproduce this.

Brad, if you have time, it would be great if you could re-test and ensure that:
1. dom.ipc.reportProcessHangs is true
2. dom.ipc.plugins.contentTimeoutSecs is 10.

I hope there isn't something Mac-specific here.
