User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0 Build ID: 20120201153158 Steps to reproduce: viewed the about box of some of my firefox extensions user agent switcher, and yes popups for example. Actual results: after viewing some of them, the firefox process hangs upon trying to restart after an extention update or when quitting file > quit Expected results: Obviously, not cause a zombie process.
simply opening the about box doesn't seem to consistently cause it, but if you click a link in the about box it usually does
This was seemingly caused by some extensions having read only attributes set, firefox tried to update the xpi file and hung because it was unable to.
