Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

Whenever spawning a new window, the Firefox stalls for several minutes. This
happens even on this site by pressing Ctrl-N, opening a new address from
command-line or by web-page opening a new pop-up-window. The stalling does not
occur when a page is opened into a new tab.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Starting Firefox
2. (Authorizating myself to the proxy server I use - several steps)
3. Pressing Ctrl - N

Actual Results:  
The firefox stalls totally and stops responding to the system calls. The window
that was on top of everything while the new window opened is rendered correctly,
but other firefox windows are blank, until they start responding in about 5 minutes.


This symptom appeared first time couple days ago but is not associated with the
1.0.1-version update. It occured also with the previous 1.0 version. No recent
changes to the setup. The latest extension installed less than a week ago was
SessionSaver. The symptom did not start occuring just after installing it.

I have the following extensions installed:
DOM inspector 1.0
All-in-One Gestures 0.12.4
Image Zoom 0.1.7
ieview 0.84
QuickNote 0.6
easyGestures 2.14
Adblock v.5 d2 nightly 39
User Agent Switcher 0.6.1
Tabbrowser Preferences 1.2.2
Linkification 0.9.20
googlebar 0.9.0.30
Disable Targets For Downloads 0.8
Webdeveloper 0.8
ForecastFox 0.5.9
FLST 0.8.1
Slashy 1.2.0 (disabled)
FirefoxView 0.31.1
SwitchProxy Tool 1.3.1
SessionSaver .2.1.025 (disabled)
This is caused by the SwitchProxy extension. See
