First use of GTK+ save dialog (save page as, save image...) freezes Firefox for
one minute or so with high CPU usage. It happens only for the first time each
session, if I try to save page or image after the freeze, everything is OK.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any page.
2. Use Save Page As...

Actual Results:  
Save dialog appears and browser freezes.


Fedora Core 4 with GTK+ from nrpms.net.

[Adam Guthrie]

What version of GTK are you using, and has this always occured?

Comment 2

[thingwath]

2.8.6 (the most recent from www.nrpms.net), but it started to happen about month
ago (with GTK+ 2.6 packages from FC4).

Comment 3

[Adam Guthrie]

Do you think you could figure out a range when this started failing? This will
allow us to figure out what changes went into the tree and possibly what's
causing this. You can use http://archive.mozilla.org/ to get older builds.

http://archive.mozilla.org shows only Apache test page, how can I get these builds?

Comment 5

[Adam Guthrie]

This one should work: http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/
