Description

[Pablo Goldbarg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3) Gecko/20090305 Firefox/3.1b3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3) Gecko/20090305 Firefox/3.1b3

I choose want to import history from Safari. After a while (30 secs to 1 minute) an error dialog opens with a "Unresponsive Script" message detailed below.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.File > Import
2. Safari
3. Select only "Browsing History"
Actual Results:  
Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/components/nsPlacesDBFlush.js:195

It gives the option of Continue or Stop Script. Both options go to an infinite loop, bringing that window again and again. 

Expected Results:  
Import Safari history succesfully.

Provisionally moving to Toolkit.

Is this problem reproducible (does it happen every time you try the steps-to-reproduce from comment #0)?

Also, does the problem happen in Firefox 3.5 beta4, or a current Shiretoko nightly?

Pablo:

How many bookmarks and how much (in days) of history are you importing from Safari?

I am not able to reproduce this using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4) Gecko/20090423 Firefox/3.5b4, but I do not have a vast amount of info to import from Safari.
