Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Pressing the all pages button cause the browser to completely hang ~30% of the time. When it doesn't it will cause an unsightly flash to black then the all pages screen.

Matt, some answers to the following questions might help figure this problem out a bit quicker:

1. Is sync connected? If so, are your tabs/bookmarks/history being synced to the device when you tap on "All Pages"
2. Are you loading a page when clicking on "All Pages" ?
3. Are there any tabs open when clicking on "All Pages" ?
4. Is this happening with a completely clean profile ?

-Note: this was after pressing the new tab button

1) no
2) no, it flashes and hangs before you can press any button (after new tab)
3) no
4) yes

This sounds like a bug caused by bug 599053, which was backed out. A different fix is being worked on.

Does this still happen?
