(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Chicky]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

After a period of residing in the taskbar, minimized and unused with 2 or more
tabs open, Firefox is extremely slow to respond to any command.  (i.e. maximize,
new url address, back, etc.)  The program should respond immediately to any
click of the mouse.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Just let Firefox sit idle in the taskbar for 20 mins or longer.
2.  Try to maximize the window and go to any page, or do anything.
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox hangs for several minutes, unresponsive.  Most times resulting in
restarting the program.

Expected Results:  
Responded immidiately to all commands.

No errors ever given, even after a long period of waiting.  Using WinXP, default
theme.
