Hello,

Windows Vista. Firefox 4.0.1.
I have many pages open, quiet. In a new tab, I go to http://rishida.net/utils/subtags/ . I choose List : Languages (takes a while!) : List.
Indeed, loading takes a while.
But Firefox gets unresponding in this time : Windows displays Firefox as not responding, and I can't use Firefox outside of the loading tab. During loading, I should be able to read and scroll another tab, that is already loaded. But I cannot.
I tried several times : same unresponding behaviour.
And what if the servers keeps writing and writing and writing - which is possible - ? Firefox and all its open pages get **** up ?

When the page is loading, please make the rest of the browser responsive.

Thanks,

Nicolas
Confirmed on Nightly -> interface is locked up while the large page loads.

This is a case covered by https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis/Firefox

Something must be done about this bug! It affects firefox for 4 years! It also seems to affect loading performance
Also, the bug affects both Linux and Windows OS
note: this happens on every page loaded. If it takes time to load it the problem is more notable
That is an expected thing for a single process application where the rendering engine itself renders the UI and the webpage.
This will only change with different processe3s and that is covered by bug 516518
