1240693 - ~10 sec timeout on Linux Firefox

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[kbj]

Attachment: Delay test webserver

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/47.0.2526.106 Chrome/47.0.2526.106 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Open a page that takes longer than ~10 seconds to load. I've attached a simple nodejs webserver that can serve a page with a delay specified in seconds in the url. The xmlhttprequest JS module has the same issue.


Actual results:

Stopped loading. In the attached webserver, the "Delaying x seconds..." text displays, but the "Done" text doesn't. If i keep it roughly under 10 seconds it works and roughly over 10 seconds it doesn't. I've used 15 seconds in most of my tests.


Expected results:

I expect it to load the page. In xmlhttprequest i noticed that it didn't even trigger the timeout event.

---
What's affected:

I could reproduce the issue on distro-supplied Firefox on 3 Ubuntu machines, 1 Mint and 1 Arch.

I couldn't reproduce it on distro-supplied Firefox on 3 other Ubuntu machines or Mozilla supplied Firefox on the machines where it didn't work before or 2 Windows machines. The Mozilla supplied Firefox tested were both the newest developer edition and some older versions.

Ubuntu and Mint both have Debian roots, but Arch doesn't. So it's not clear where it's gone wrong. I've tried, on one of the setups that has the issue, to remove the xul-ext-ubufox and unity-scope-firefoxbookmarks (ubuntu's extra firefox packages) and running it in safe-mode. That makes no difference.

I just got an upgrade to version 44 in Ubuntu and it works now. Version 43.0.4 didn't work.

The Arch installation apparently works now too. None of the resolved types available to me on this bug tracker really fit what's happened to this issue. Feel free to close it as you see fit for this project. Thank you.

Based on previous comment, as the bug is not reproducible on 44 version, mark the bug Resolved - Works for me.
