When I open firefox and type something in the awesomebar, it always give me suggestions. Than I leave my computer alone for 10 minutes and my screensaver starts. When I now type something in the awesomebar, it doesn't show suggestions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open firefox
2. Wait a little while (+5min)
3. Type goo
Actual Results:  
The awesomebar doesn't show up. (But the throbber shows it's searching. After max 2s the throbber stops searching, but there are still no suggestions)

Expected Results:  
The suggestions show up

I'm using weave 1.0rc

This behavior can be found in FF3.5 (latest release) and FF3.6b5 on ubuntu 9.10 and ubuntu lucid (10.04). I didn't try on windows.

I forgot to mention that a restart of the browser resets the behavior. So the awesomebar works again, but after 10min of non-activity, it doesn't work anymore.

Do you alos see this behavior in Safe Mode ? It might be due to an add-on.

Comment 3

[kosver]

yes, I still have this behavior when I'm in a newly created profile (without addons).

Comment 4

a new profile without weave even?

Comment 5

[kosver]

Yes, the profile was without weave.

I've noticed today that switching windows solves the problem.
So if I leave my computer for a while (+10min), I don't get my awesomebar anymore. But when I switch to another window and back, I get it again.
