Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[konstantin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru-RU; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru-RU; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6

It seems Firefox running on PC with Windows XP PRO EN SP2 with 2 or more tabs
open doesn't restore normally after "hibernate". Every instance of Firefox loses
ability to make new connections. After closing all instances sometimes it
resurrects and starts working normally, but more frequent practice is that
reboot is required. When rebooting several 'XP-COM not responding' windows are
popped up, sometimes hanging up the system. In such cases 'firefox.exe' is seen
in task manager, but task manager is unable to terminate it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have firefox run with some different open tabs and pages loaded.
2. Go to hibernate.
3. Start the system up.
4. Try to open new tab in firefox.
5. Now see - connection attempt lasts forever.
6. Open new instance of firefox, try to browse.
7. same as (6)
8. Close all firefox instances.
9. After 5 minutes see - probably there is firefox.exe running in task manager.
10. Try to kill it. Explorer crashes.

Actual Results:  
same as described in details.

Expected Results:  
work after hibernate as expected.

XPCOM not responding windows is frequently popped up after performing steps
mentioned above.

WFM - Firefox is fine after hibernation

I was also noticing tabs acting slowly after hibernation, before a dialog came
up that I couldn't close (and after ripping the tab out of DOM inspector, I
could), and after ripping out the tab so I could close the dialog, no tabs would
close.

There are obvious bugs with Firefox tabs and hibernation, as I just saw it, and
someone was on Mozillazine the other day complaining about it. Although this
issue might be hard to reproduce, it's possible a developer might be able to
track down how hibernation could cause these issues. Confirming.

Changing components. See also:
bug 306159 - When many tabs are open, and operation times out, can't close
dialog (after hibernate)

Comment 4

[Brian 'netdragon' Bober]

In reproducing this issue, the more tabs the better. I opened 18 tabs,
hibernated, reloaded them a few times, then closed all the tabs but one and
started browsing with that one, and it got very very slow at connecting to
sites. After I rebooted, I connected to those sites very quickly.

I remember there was an issue in the past with javascript timers and hibernation
or something like that. Maybe Firefox has some internal timers that get all out
of whack because of hibernation? Just a guess.

Same problem 100% CPU utilization after hibernate mode.

Browser work "normaly", but take 100% of CPU.

I think this problem is binded with Macromedia Flash banners.
Because it happend (almost always) just when I have tabs with Flash.
 
That problem I have with Mozilla 1.7.12 and early version.
Same problem I have with FireFox 1.5 and early version.

Each time I return from hibernate I have Thunderbird and Firefox work some time.
After several requests to URL or mail server they stop works.
Sometimes they didn't work right after start of system.
And I need to kill process from task manager and start applications again.

Software:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Thunderbird version 1.0.7 (20050923)
Thunderbird version 1.0.2 

Windows XP sp2 with updates.

Here Firefox is crashing upon resume from hibernation (XP SP-2) though I have a large number of extensions installed, so it could be one of them.

konstantin's initial report gives no URLs so it is impossible to verify what is happening. if it's the same as comment 5 then it's bug 265172. duping

Comment 9

[Majken Connor [:Kensie]]

There's a whole lot going on in comment #0 none of which mentions flash, as you pointed out. Since no one else who was having this problem with flash is reporting the xpcom or firefox.exe errors, I'm going to reopen unless the reporter confirms that updating flash fixed the problem.

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

do you still see the problem? ... with nightly builds 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2007-08-26-05-trunk/
  and 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2007-08-27-05-trunk/

this will determine if bug 213637 patch checked in on 08-26 improves your situation
