696973 - Freeze when switching tabs with attached sessionstore.js

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 687710

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Paul Mueller]

Attachment: sessionstore.js with problems

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1 Firefox/7.0.1
Build ID: 20110928134238

Steps to reproduce:

Using the attached sessionstore.js, the browser loads with the New York Times as the active tab.  Then attempt to select the Intellicast Milwaukee Weather tab (the leftmost of the three Intellicast tabs).


Actual results:

Browser freezes.  This has been happening regularly (once every day or so) with various tabs and tabgroups since the middle of September, in both the 32- and 64-bit nightlies.  Also occurs in safe mode, and in profiles with no extensions and no places.sqllite.  Yet, the same sessionstore.js file will function perfectly in 7.0.1.

Removing certain tab groups (by guesswork) may eliminate the problem for a day or two, but it always recurs.


Expected results:

Switch to the selected tab with no freeze.

Suspected:
Bug 646641 - If a document has multiple history entries (either by pushstate or anchor navs) only the last one is hooked into bfcache

Maybe duplication of Bug 687710

Probably related to bug 687710.

Comment 3

[Justin Lebar (not reading bugmail)]

My loop-detecting script from bug 687710 sees a cycle here:

  5542 http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5EDJI --> 
  5800 http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html --> 
  5542 http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5EDJI

The numbers are document identifiers.  Somehow 5542 is a parent of 5800, which is a parent of 5542.  That's bizarre.

Duping against bug 687710; seems to be the same issue.
