User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0
Steps to reproduce:
- Run Firefox, and use a SOCKS proxy (on localhost).
- Quit Firefox.
- Make sure that the proxy no longer works (I rebooted the machine, so that the ssh providing the proxy was no longer running).
- Run Firefox (I got connection errors due to the missing proxy).
- Switch to "No proxy".
- Quit Firefox.
- Run Firefox.
Actual results:
After step 7, Firefox hung (AFAIK, I have never got this issue before). Several windows (from the previous session) and 2 notification boxes appeared, but with nothing drawn in them except tabs and toolbars. After that nothing got redrawn.
Expected results:
After restarting Firefox, the windows from the previous session opened and I also got a dialog box to enter my primary password. After entering my password, everything was OK.
Note: I tried to get a backtrace of the attached Firefox process. As gdb was slow, I thought I did something wrong, so that I did a Ctrl-C in gdb to restart it. But when quitting gdb, this made Firefox quit (or this was just a coincidence). So I do not have any debugging information.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

If I read comment #0 correctly, after step 7, no proxy is used, so this does not seem to be a networking issue to me. It also appears that the expected result after step 7 is to show a dialog for entering the primary password. I'll change the component to Password Manager and see if other folks have an idea here.
