Description

[Sir George]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14

When a new update arrives, a confirmation window appears that queries for a browser restart. When the browser is left unattended, CPU load goes high (with the update to 2.0.0.14 it used approximately 60-70% for some hours until user confirmation).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Wait for the next update ;-)
Actual Results:  
CPU load went high.

Expected Results:  
It shouldn't.

The same problem occures with Thunderbird.

Was this an update from 2.0.0.13 or from an earlier version? Did you notice on earlier updates?

Comment 2

[Sir George]

It was an update from .13 to .14.
As far as I can remember, this problem occured on every single update. BTW, I use the tarred version, not the debian package; the same goes for Thunderbird.

Some additional items I just realized:
-Before the last update I activated the setting to ask me before downloading new updates. Before that it was set to automatically download the update.
-So apparently the cpu-heating loop already occurs when firefox found a new update.
-If I'm not totally wrong, the same problem occured in branch 1.5.x. I just noticed when I wanted to specify the affected version.
Just my few thoughts...

Saw this with a debug build tonight and it appears that the 3 progressmeters used in the wizard are causing this as stated in bug 341749. Duping this over to bug 341749.
