533929 - Fx doesn't load pages, hangs. Same pages work fine on Opera 10

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[pleabargain]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux i686; U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.10
Build Identifier: 3.6b4

Fx doesn't load pages, crashes. Same pages work fine on Opera 10
Hoped to solve 3.5.5 problems by upgrading. No joy. Fx still loads extra slow. Opera is fine.

Reproducible: Always




see back trace and screen grab of freeze. GDB doesn't produce any output re: slow pages or Fx in train to freeze.

Trying to show how Fx always borks on Blogger.com but never even really got there... Fx borked before that.

Here are some of the videos I've made of the problems:

Something has changed in the ogg theora playback as all of my screencasts made with recordmydesktop don't play correctly anymore otherwise I'd post those too.

Google sites are very much affected ... What is bad is that I'm getting DNS errors but only on my Fedora machines, not my vista or XP machines that are on the same network.

I ran these commands looking for some clue as to why Fx runs times out so quickly after contacting a web page. Opera works just fine on the same machine.

Digging around in iptraf and 192.168.0.1 (dlink dir300) I see that my dlink router is handling all of my sessions as UDP... 
IP Address	TCP Session	UDP Session	 
192.168.0.102	      7	         30	
192.168.0.105	      48	13	
192.168.0.103	        33	0<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I'm on eth0. What is more curious is that when I go to the session history: 
TCP	192.168.0.103	53903	192.168.0.1	80
TCP	192.168.0.103	35717	89.108.94.66	80<<<nginx! is running?!
TCP	192.168.0.103	53613	192.168.0.1	53
TCP	192.168.0.103	43147	80.239.242.252	80
TCP	192.168.0.103	48258	192.168.0.1	53
TCP	192.168.0.103	48266	192.168.0.1	53
TCP	192.168.0.103	55210	80.93.53.88	80 <<.ru tv
TCP	192.168.0.103	35714	89.108.94.66	80<<<nginx! is running?!
TCP	192.168.0.103	48292	80.239.242.252	80<<nothin?
TCP	192.168.0.103	53918	192.168.0.1	80
TCP	192.168.0.103	34904	192.168.0.1	53
TCP	192.168.0.103	35712	89.108.94.66	80<<<nginx! is running?!
***

And a lot of my requests are going to my router 192.168.0.1 I compared that traffic to traffic on the other machines and found very different numbers.

So, nginx is handling my web requests maybe?

Attachment: fx hangs daily and often

Comment 15

[pleabargain]

The fix appears to be:

Putting the correct nameserver in system-config-network


[root@localhost ~]# system-config-network
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
search 192.168.160.190
nameserver 192.168.160.190
nameserver 192.168.160.188

Probably extension problems causing the above. Moving to chrome anyway. It's faster.
