User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD i386; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD i386; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 When opening a web site in a new tab (either from bookmarks or invoked from another web page), it takes around 5-10 seconds when FF begins to actually load the page. Opening a new tab (+ sign) and then opening a page from bookmarks, or opening the page in an existing tab, works very fast (normal). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right click on bookmark 2. Click on "open in a new tab" 3. Actual Results: It takes 5-10 seconds for FF to open the page Expected Results: Opening the page just as fast as opening a web site in an existing tab. Using plain FF without themes and only addon AdBlock Plus 1.3.5 installed
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.2a1pre) Gecko/20110331 Firefox/4.2a1pre Seems to be working fine for me. Please verify that everything is normal with the bookmark. Also please try reproducing the issue on a clean profile: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20profiles
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:5.0a2) Gecko/20110418 Firefox/5.0a2 Reporter, do you have any new information on this? Thanks!
No, problem still exists. When opening a link in a new window, then no problem. It only appears when opening in a new tab.
Can you please test a fresh profile as mentioned in comment 1?
I did but no difference.
Does the same happen for you with Firefox 3.6.16? Please check with a vanilla build of Firefox which you can get here: http://stage.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.16/linux-i686/en-US/
Version: unspecified → 4.0 Branch
I don't use Linux, but FreeBSD. Before FF 4.0 I used the portsversion of FF (3.6.16), and I update ports weekly.
And I didn't have this problem with 3.6.16 b.t.w.
And which version are you using now? Is there no ports version of Firefox 4 available?
I'm using 4.0 from ports.
Hm, does ports also offer beta builds of Firefox 4? Otherwise I will be kinda hard to find out the causing check-in.

With the ports system you are building the software yourself. I'm updating my portstree 1-2 a week so always the latest version is build. When a beta version is available and in the ports you can of course build and install it, but I never install beta software. So I went from 3.6.16 to 4.0.
If that is a regression we need someone with a BSD system to check those beta versions. I don't have such a box so I can't do it. And I don't know about other ones. So if you could help us find which beta first showed this issue, it would be fantastic.
Sure I'll help but I hope that I don't have to "reverse" my portstree to older versions of FF (I don't even know how to do that btw). It's my main machine and I like to keep it clean and up to date.
Not sure how portstree is working. Just out of curiosity, how does open a link in a new window behave for you?
FreeBSD ports: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html Opening a link in a new windows is a lot faster.
(In reply to comment #16) > Opening a link in a new windows is a lot faster. Interesting. Can you test with another user on your system if its profile show the same behavior? I just want to make sure it's not related to your own system profile.
Same behaviour with other users. Seems better though with newer versions of FF (7.0.1). So perhaps better to close this one.
