Reporter: please try this using a recent nightly. If it works, close this bug

It's probably due to a large bookmarks file : that is written when a window is
closed.

See bug 182373 and bug 101319

This problem seems to be tied to the size of the bookmarks file.  When the
bookmarks are virually empty, window closing is fast, but when the file is large
(e.g., 300Kb+), the closing can be quite slow!  I can hear my disk writing for a
3-4 seconds (after I choose to close a window).  While this is happening, I'm
prevented from interacting with any other Mozilla windows.  Quite frustrating!

I'm using Mozilla 1.2.1.

Bug 133812 may be related, in that it refers to slow window closes.

Reporter, are you still experiencing this problem with Mozilla 1.3?

WFM 1.3 on WinXP

Resolving as works for me due to lack of response from reporter

please reopen if the problem persists with Mozilla 1.3 or later
