RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1517101

People

(Reporter: tkayikci, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0

Steps to reproduce:

If I do either of the following:
a) Press Ctrl+H to open history and attempt to provide a keyword to search.
b) If some file is going to download, in reaction to me clicking on a link, independent of that file's size (even if 1KB or so).

Actual results:

A menu does pop up immediately, however those menus are initially dysfunctional. It takes about 5-10 seconds if computation for the menu to become ready to accept user input (say whether I need to click 'save' or provide a string as a search key). Within that time Firefox totally freezes and all other tabs are also unresponsive.

Expected results:

These operations obviously do not need much processor power or internet traffic so my expectation is that these windows become active almost immediately.

This is a laptop running Linux Mint 19.1 with Firefox 65. The situation happens even if I remove the extensions.
