492468 - Firefox hangs at autorestart after enabling/disabling an extension

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Albert Zeyer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; de; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042315 Firefox/3.0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; de; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042315 Firefox/3.0.10

When you disable/enable an extension in the Add-on dialog, FF asks if it should restart. When I click that, it quits and tries to restart but it hangs at restarting. No window is appearing and I only can kill it (and MacOSX says it is not responding and it takes 100% CPU).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable/enable any extension.
2. Click on restart.

I'm experiencing this same thing when enabling disabling or installing uninstalling any extension.  Firefox spins with 50% cpu utilization (2 cpu machine) after restart.  Killing it and starting up succeeds and extensions were enabled/disabled as requested.  Tried on FF 3.2,3.3,3.4 & 3.5 with same results

I traced this to one of my extensions.  iMacros (http://www.iopus.com/imacros/firefox/).  With this extension enabled.  Enabling/disabling any extension will cause firefox to hang on the automated restart.  the iMacros extension will install, do the restart and run ok but once installed if you disable it or any others, firefox will hang on the restart.

Albert, do you see this problem when using v3?
