I have two situations I've been experiencing for at least the last 8-10 
releases of Firefox and accompanying Firebug 2.x  updates.  They don't 
happen a lot and neither is earth-shatteringly important - just annoying.  
Neither situation is reproducible at will, but neither do they happen 
unless I've opened Firebug at least once during my Firefox session.  
Neither situation happened before Firefox 33(ish).  Just curious if 
*anybody* has run across similar situations and either has a solution or a 
"you're not alone" response.

I'm using FF 41.0.1/FB 2.0.12 and Windows 7 on a VM.  I run multiple 
profiles at any given time because I need totally separate login sessions 
into our application (application critiques are not being solicited - it is 
what it is and it's not changing).  We use prototype.js quite heavily in 
all of our javascript, but no other 3rd party javascript frameworks.  It 
doesn't matter which profile I'm running, and yes, I've nuked and recreated 
all profiles multiple times.  Other than the names the profiles are all 
identical:

Addons: Firebug, MeasureIt, Show Profile (to customize the window title), 
and The Addon Bar (restored)
Appearance: Default - no themes added
Plugins: OpenH264 Video Codec, Adobe Acrobat, Java Platform SE 8 U31 (yes, 
it's old, but only rarely used), Microsoft Office 2010. All other plugins 
disabled all the time.

Yes, I've tried disabling all addons (neither situation happens) and all 
but Firebug (both still happen).  I've also tried using Firebug 3.0 to see 
if it happens there, but it's *just* different enough in the UI that the 
annoyances outweigh any potential benefits.

*Situation #1)* After working with firebug using Console, HTML, or Script 
tabs on a single page, I try to navigate to a new page of our application.  
The navigation stalls and eventually FF will put up a dialog along the 
following lines:
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You 
can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script 
continue.

Script: resource://firebugui/commandEditor.html:2685
[continue/debug/stop buttons]

The actual firebug resource will vary, but the only recourse is to click 
"stop" and try the navigation again.  Sometimes it works, sometimes 
situation #2 arises.  If it *does* work, it's very likely that any other 
tabs currently open to the same application are hung/stalled and no event 
processing is happening on these tabs at all. Refreshing the page via the 
reload icon in the "awesome bar" (egads, but i hate that name) or Ctrl-F5 
usually will work, but if not, continue to situation #2.

*Situation #2)* Firefox is thoroughly hosed.  Closing the application is 
not enough - there's some process that refuses to quit when FF shuts down 
and I have to resort to task manager to kill off the process. Never happens 
unless preceded by #1.

thx in advance
