Details

Account Manager uses resource.js, which (through sync.js) uses Thread.processNextEvent() to simulate sync requests. When called from nsIWebProgressListener callbacks in particular, other code will continue to execute when it doesn't expect to. More information here: https://groups.google.com/group/mozilla-labs-online-identity/browse_thread/thread/3e0b94bbc02df898
Exact repro steps were included in the group post. This is a very big problem for all StumbleUpon add-on users (one of the most popular add-ons), so I hope it will be made a high pririty.
I just confirmed that this problem no longer exists in the latest / rewritten version.
thanks!
