210176 - Random hangs leaving rogue process when killed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 234598

(Firefox :: General, defect)

This may be a duplicate bug report because it appears to be random and I cannot
assertain what causes it. 

One or more parts of Firebird's engine appear to go into an endless loop. The
first indicator is that web pages stop downloading. The interface appears to be
working fine and you can start and stop requests, etc. However no new data
appears. It may still be being downloaded from the net but I can't tell if this
is so. 

If I then close the program and bring up the task manager, I can still see a
Firebird process running at 100% cpu. This process does not end and I have to
manually kill it.

I have encountered this bug several times within the last couple of hours since
downloading the build. This is a newly installed machine and Firebird is one of
the first pieces of software loaded. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:

Derek, is the problem persisting with a current nightly build?  I noticed
similar problems working on a patch within that nightly, but have not seen
anything in subsequent nightlies, so it could have been a problem on the trunk
that is now fixed.

Please try a current nightly build and update the bug with your results.  Thanks!

it still happens occasionally, closing the window doesn't close the hung process

Saw this also from time to time, but very very rare and I can't tell the last
time it happened on my machine... => adding keyword 'hang' though the GUI keeps
responsive.

I have this situation occur regularly when I open a site *and* there are java
errors.  The java console pops up and typical errors are:

java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: ISO-8859-1 
at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
at sun.plugin.navig.win32.PluginObject.setDocumentURL(PluginObject.java:447)

The original bug report doesn't have any steps to reproduce and I cannot
replicate this on current builds, duping against bug 234598
