Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Master Merlin Cul Kirkpatrick]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I know of other people having this problem.  And I have had it a while but I 
can not seem to find any mention of the exact bug.  When I have more then a few 
tabs loaded I get about a 6 second hang at the end of any page load.  I can not 
click any links or any thing.  I just have to sit there and look at it while it 
does something.. not sure what.  I only have like 2 extensions loaded.  Is 
there a fix to this mentioned some where that I missed?  Can I do some 
troubleshooting for you?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load lots of tabs (I have 37 loaded but you do not need that many)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
6 Second hang at the end of the page load.  Can not click any thing, can do 
nothing but wait.

Expected Results:  
Allow me to scroll through the loading page, click on a link.. :)

I am on a P3-866 with 1024mg of Memory.

What extensions do you have installed (names, please :)?

Comment 2

[Michel Poleur]

I have a similar problem except this is before the actual page load. I'm using
Firefox 1.0.3 under Win2000 SP4 but this bug is present for a couple of months.
I don't have a lot of open tabs (max 5). Some extensions are installed. I
recreated my profile some days ago but the bug is still present.

This is probably related to DNS/name resolution.

This bug is not a DNS problem and has nothing to do with the case it was pointed it.  It also is still unresolved.  I am forced to use IE and Opera as a result.

[José Jeria]

What version are you testing with? Did y ou try safe mode?

Comment 7

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Master Merlin and  Michel Poleur,

comment 6 (and the now very old comment 1) asks reasonable, easy questions - the bug can progress only when you respond.

The bug is a year old - so at this point you need to test and report based on the newer FF 1.5 or better yet a trunk build from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

As far as I remember, I hadn't seen this behaviour for a long time (since I switched to 1.5.0.1 ?). 

I will file a comment if this bug arises in the future. By the way, I think this bug is related to bug 248345.

According to comments, it's rather non-OS specific.

I forgot to say, I wouldn't rule out their being the same problem - but there are dissilimarities.  As for your good suggestions

strattbo doesn't state what causitive action preceeds the problem (comment 0? comment 9?)
and what's this about a so-called, well known "beach ball of death"?

> See bug 248345, comment 12
high cpu and highly reproducible - doesn't fully match bug.

Updates from these people in bug 248345 will help better define this.

Master Merlin

Here's what you can do...

Which extensions?
What happens in safe mode?
Is cpu above 90% 
What version?
