310330 - randomly (it seems) the browser just stalls for a while. No known reason for it yet determined

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[john.chrapkowski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

It seems that randomly the browser will stall, and show not responding in the
task manager.  Usually waiting fixes it, sometimes it is under a minute,
sometimes it is over 5.

I can't seem to make it happen, it just does.

It seems like maybe you guys have jajava script issues, but I do not know.  The
WHOLE browser does this.

It used to happen less frequesntly, but has been happening more and more.

Please don't make me use IE, I hate it, but at work i cannot afford the delays!

Also I think 280MB of vm memory is a little much!

Inf act it has hung 4 -5 time while in the TEXT BOX

If I restart the browser it starts to work.  But I don't feel that is a mozilla
answer - more of a M$ answer so I hope thats not it.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use browser for extended time.
2. Notice hang/stall
3.

Have you tried 1.5beta or a nightly?

[john.chrapkowski]

No, I generally wait ofr a non beta.  Do you think it would help?

A friend of mine has spoken with me and he says it happens on his 1.5 beta as well.

BTW, great job all for working on this - Mozilla is the best!!!!

Hi guys,

I've the same issue and tried in safe-mode and could reproduce the issue when
reading email messages within the GMX web frontend at www.gmx.net .

Please let me know if I can test anything else.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
