For some reason, this seems to be related to awesomewm because loging out and trying firefox out in gnome doesn't seem to freeze the same way. At some point I got an error message saying "Firefox is not responding wait or kill" but it's been working ok since.
I still have a huge load time on thunderbird. Is there a way to move this bug to awesomevm ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1376243 Title: Intermitent freeze of window, goes grey when changing workspaces in awesomevm Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is probably a gtk bug but I don't know on whih package I should put it. The main application on which I encounter this bug is fireworfirefox so amposting it here. Every few seconds or few minutes I get a freeze on firefox. At first I thought it was just on videos (and the sound keeps on going) but as a matter of fact it's the whole window even when not showing a video. For example, as am I typing this, twice since I began, the text stops showing, I keep on typing and then it appears. I am using awesomewm as a window manager but I doubt the bug is there. The QT apps are running fine. My thunderbird is even more freeze prone that my firefox (for example openning a new mail window is really slow). Sometimes when I click on a menu it will take time to appear and then if I change workspaces it will appear on the other workspaces. I thought it might be https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs23/+bug/1142213 or https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk2-engines- oxygen/+bug/963736 but nothing fixed it. I tried disabling addons but with no luck. Am running trusty. This is becoming a blocking issue for me and would greatly appreciate tips on how to debug it and fix it.
