This CPU-intensive (although finite; it can take anywhere from 3 seconds to 1 minute) operation usually happens when: 1. starting a drag operation 2. emiting an JS alert or a File Save dialog box
When breaking into the "hung" Firefox with a debugger, the CPU intensive operation appears to have something to do with the widget/gtk -> pango -> fontconfig. I'm not running a debug build so that's all I've gathered. I'll try to gather some more info soon by running a debug build of pango and fontconfig. From the nature of the bug (once per session), I can guess some sort of font-related precalculation is taking place here.
Do all views redisplay and scroll to top, so the duration of the hang depends on the number × complexity of documents? This sounds like bug 305970.
Tuukka, thanks for the match. Bug 305970 indeed describes what I'm seeing the best, though its summary could've been made more precise. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 305970 ***
