When I click on a link or first open Firefox, if I click on a menu item too soon (i.e. before the website is fully loaded) Firefox's display freezes and shows what was loaded in the browser right as I clicked the menu item.  Traffic isn't stopped because when I remove focus from the menu Firefox immediately displays the new website.

Reproducible: Always

I don't see how this bug is a duplicate of 141710.  I am not holding my mouse button down, I'm clicking on the menu.  It's not that I'm noticing a spike to 100% so much as I'm noticing that Firefox will not show the new page until I click somewhere other than the menu.

OS version?
Oh, forget it, I thought you meant that there was a hang.  Yes, we do block (mostly) while a system tracking loop is running for a menu or scrollbar.  Setting qawanted so a friendly triage-minded person can dupe this to the appropriate bug.

I duped it to bug 141710, because the title is "holding mouse on menu stops browsing display". Click-and-hold uses 100% cpu, and blocks most UI-activities.


Duplicate of Bug 94275, which is duped to bug 106692.
I'm duping this to 94275, because 106692 is probably not the way this is going to be fixed.
