Details

(Keywords: hang)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20120911232325

Steps to reproduce:

After upgrading to firefox 16 beta (Windows 7 ultimate) I noticed a hang at startup and every time a page was  opened or refreshed. Firefox does not respond for more than 1 minute with no CPU consumption.



Actual results:

I checked my options and found that the proxy setting was configured to "use system proxy settings" (no proxy configured). Changing the firefox setting to "no proxy" is a workaround  - no hang anymore.
