Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 424683

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Steve England [:stevee]]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008032523 Minefield/3.0b5pre ID:2008032523

NSA showed me this site on IRC. Filing in Core:General until further investigation.

1. New profile, start firefox
2. Visit URL

Expected:
 - URL loads quickly

Actual:
 - Browser hangs, whole window turns all white, memory usage jumps up and down (memory usage much worse in recent firefox builds)

Works: 20070821_1656_firefox-3.0a8pre.en-US.win32
Broken: 20070821_1710_firefox-3.0a8pre.en-US.win32

Checkins to module PhoenixTinderbox between 2007-08-21 16:56 and 2007-08-21 17:10 :

Page fails to load properly in IE7. Works OK in Opera 9.26. I am going to guess this bug is more likely to be caused by bug 392973 so CC'ng brendon for his opinion.

10000 is fast enough (just barely, I'm pretty sure I was just shy of ten seconds) to avoid the slow-script dialog on my machine (MBP), but since this value -used- to be 1000, it seems like 3000 or 5000 would be a reasonable compromise.  Does Opera's whole UI freeze while it is loading the google page?

Woops, meant that for the other bug.
