Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051015 Firefox/1.4.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051015 Firefox/1.4.1 This seems to only happen on LinuxPPC, at least I cannot reproduce it on LinuxX86. Dragging and dropping, for example reordering tabs, or dragging a link to desktop to download the file, causes firefox to freeze and consume 100% CPU most of the time. Sometimes, but not always, the downloading occurs after I killed firefox. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. drag and drop a file to desktop to download 2. 3. Actual Results: firefox freezes and consumes 100% cpu Here's my buildconfig: --enable-application=browser --enable-application=browser --disable-debug '--enable-optimize=-Os -freorder-blocks -fno-reorder-functions -gstabs+ -fno-strict-aliasing' --disable-tests --enable-official-branding --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --enable-xft --disable-freetype2 --enable-svg --enable-canvas --enable-static --disable-shared

Changing component to tab browser as you're taking it as an example.

Confirming that it WFM in x86. Do you know when it started crashing Firefox?

(In reply to comment #3) > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 309453 *** The bug you are duping to is showing hangs on x86, this bug here is WFM on x86 according to comment 0 and comment 2. This bug is showing crashs on Linux PPC. Reporter, can you supply a talkback record? See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback http://www.mozilla.org/quality/qfa.html Do you use extensions? Does it also crash in safe mode?

Removing keyword crash. The reporter told firefox is hanging, but was asked in comment 2 when it started to crash. After coming back from the other bug I was assuming this one is a crasher when I filed comment 4. Reporter, do you use official builds, or are you building yourself?

(In reply to comment #4) > Reporter, can you supply a talkback record? See > http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback > http://www.mozilla.org/quality/qfa.html Since it doesn't crash, only freezes, I don't know how talkback would help. > Do you use extensions? Does it also crash in safe mode? I've tried disabling all extensions except those that ships with firefox (DOM inspector and Reporter). From my memory I think this happens with a clean profile as well. In response to your another comment, since I can't find a official linuxppc build, this is my own build, you can find my buildconfig in the initial report.
I've done more testing: 1) Definitely happens with new profile, with a branch build as of last night 2) Doesn't happen if there's only 1 or 2 tabs 3) A comment on another bug has a workaround: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309453#c13 4) Once the workaround is applied, future drag and drop does not have this buggy behavior 5a) Invoking the GtkFileChooser is also problematic: it will show the dialog but nothing in the file listing, the cursor is also in BUSY state and firefox freezes. The workaround does not apply when this happens. 5b) However, if I open up the file chooser after I applied the workaround (by doing a drag+drop, causes firefox to freeze, apply workaround to unfreeze), GtkFileChooser works fine. Just want to emphasis again that this happens not only with drag+drop tabs, but also dragging links to other applications. But according to my investigations last night, it definitely relates to tab.
