Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 298502

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

This problem is not specific to a search engine or a form from a particular site. It can be temporarily fixed by deleting the formsfill history file and disabling the option in preferences. But turn the option on again, and the problem recurs, after a few searches. I wish I hadn't upgraded to 1.5 now. Everything was fine before... This is really important, need this to run my business.

(Using Mac, OSX, v 10.2.8)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter more than perhaps 10 search terms and....
2. Bingo!
3. I gotta problem!

Actual Results:  
Well, it just happens every time, after a bit. I can't reproduce it for you beyond telling you what happens because Firefox just refuses to respond and I have to do a 'force quit'.

Expected Results:  
Er, the software to work? Do what it says on the tin?

I have no idea of any conflict that could have caused this, no themes, no talkbacks, never use them, no nothing. I even disabled Norton because it's the usual culprit. Everything works fine in Explorer (well no, correction, it never works fine in that) Opera, Safari, so I think it's down to you guys, sorry!
