User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0 Build ID: 20160502172042 Steps to reproduce: Attempted to load this web page: http://legacy.cafebonappetit.com/print-menu/cafe/207/menu/115086/days/all/pgbrks/0/ Actual results: Got spinning beachball, Activity Monitor reported that Firefox was Not Responding, status at bottom of Firefox window was something like "Waiting for www.google-analytics.com". Ping of that site failed, but that shouldn't cause Firefox to hang; it should time out and give up. Expected results: Normally the page loads and I get a Print dialogue pop-up (because that's how the developer configured the web page; I have no control over that). But this time (probably because of failure to reach google-analytics.com) Firefox hung.
Dumb user error. It was waiting for the print service to respond and it was waiting for me to dismiss an error message that was hidden behind another application.
