263897 - Browser hangs for several seconds when clicking on some bookmark folders

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 197026

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Will Budreau]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

The first time that I click to expand certain bookmark folders using either the
Toolbar folder or the Bookmark's menu, the browser hangs for 10-20 seconds, with
the menu item showing a "clicked" appearance.  Several seconds later, the
correct menu appears.

Once this has happened, subsequent expansions of the same menu occur at regular
speed, although the first revisit after a longer duration (probably using other
applications) can show the same symptoms.

Also, clicking soon on certain other submenus can show the same symptoms.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open new browser
2. Click on "Sidebars" toolbar or Bookmarks menu entry


Actual Results:  
All browser instances hang until the menu appears several seconds later.  The
windows task manager does not report a significant increase in 

Expected Results:  
Immediately sown droplist

Did not notice this behavior until recently, with both a FF 1.0 upgarde and
Windows SP 2 upgrade.

Turns out this bug occurs on URLs of the form
file://///machine/
where the machine is not accessible.
