[Silvio Guder]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060710 Firefox/2.0b1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060710 Firefox/2.0b1

My computer is always on. After a few days (3-5) the "save as"-dialoge need a lot of time. It needs almost one minute to open. When i change folder in the dialoge it takes a long time too.

In this time the CPU is 100% used.

In version 1.5xx i have got the same problem.

If i close firefox and start again the "save as"-dialoge there is no problem. The dialoge will start very fast and i can change folders the normal way.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.work with firefox over 3-5 days
2.over a picture use context-menu and choose "save picture" or save link as


Actual Results:  
Dialoge need a long time to open.  (almost one minute)
Changing folders needs  a long time. (almost one minute per folder)
CPU is almost 100% used.


Expected Results:  
open the dialoge faster. If i start firefox and use it, it needs one a half second for this operation

Which version of GNOME/GTK are you using?

Probably a duplicate of bug 161783, via bug 326405.

I don't think so. If I browse in the "Save as"-dialoge I think the downloads.rdf from bug 161783 is not used. 
I think downloads.rdf is only used, it i save the file. My problem is, when the dialog opens (almost one minute) and i browse folders to save files not in my home-directory. For every folder change i need almost one minute.

Example:
1) Want to save a picture from a site
2) Dialoge needs long time to open. Now I'm in my home (/home/user/)
3) Want to go to /home/user/pictures/ needs a long time. The folder pictures has got 20 files
4) Want to go back in the dialog from /home/user/pictures/ to /home/user/ needs a long time, too.

When the "items" from the dialog are loaded, I can press the "save-button" and the file is very fast saved. There is only a problem with loading the items/folders in this dialog.

And I have only this problem, if firefox is running for 3-5 days.
After a restart of firefox there is no problem with the save-as-dialog and i can  use it the normal way.

(Sorry for bad English. Ask if something is not clear..)

Yes, you're correct - this is probably unrelated (sorry, I didn't read the description carefully enough).

If I want to upload a file "the normal way" with a file-dialog, then i have the problem, too.
So there must be a problem with file-dialogs. Its the same dialog like the save-as-dialog. And when i restart firefox it works.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

Does the problem still occur in Firefox 3 ?
