User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 Build ID: 20180605065433 Steps to reproduce: I have a work Gmail account that has opted in to the brand new interface. If I open an email, hit A to reply all, and then click the From address, I get the usual drop down to choose the address from which I will reply. When I subsequently click an address, about half the time the tab hangs. My version is firefox-60.0.1-6.fc28.x86_64 (from Fedora 28). This seems to be new in the Firefox 60. Actual results: Other tabs keep working, but if I open a new tab and try to navigate to a new domain, that tab hangs as well. If I go back to the gmail tab, I see a white screen with a little spinny icon in the middle. Expected results: The browser should remain fully functional. If Gmail is indeed busted, then the Gmail tab has my permission to run slowly.
Hi Andy, Can you please give a few more steps to reproduce this issue? Do you make some more settings or how do you reply all from another e-mail address?

I played with it a bit, and I can't figure out how to reliably reproduce it right now. That being said, it just triggered on this browser again, in gmail. I tried to open developer tools, and that hung, too. I'll attach a screenshot. After several minutes, everything came back to life.

What the tab looks like when hung.
Hmm. Right now I'm reliably triggering it when I paste a few lines of plain text (copied form gnome-terminal) into a reply in gmail. I'm not getting it when I just type into the reply. The from address doesn't seem to be involved. When it triggers, Firefox's CPU usage is at 100% and 'perf report' says that it's basically all 'Web content' in libxul.so.
Due to the lack of information, I will close this issue as WFM. Please feel free to reopen it anytime you can reproduce it.
