Bug#316216: mozilla-firefox: opening up more than 16 tabs causes intermittent failure to access sites
Package: mozilla-firefox Version: 1.0.1-1 Severity: normal as subject line says. i always always always always open up new tabs due to that irritating bug which has been present in firefox for well over three years and has never been satisfactorily resolved (as best i can determine) - the one where keyboard focus is "lagged" onto another mozilla window behind the one you're actually using (and if you select another mozilla window, the keyboard focus jumps to the window you WERE using, repeat, repeat. solution: open up in tabs. always) what i am finding is that intermittently, after four to six hours of constant use of mozilla, or after several hours use followed by say an overnight break followed by returning to mozilla (without exiting) that all of a sudden opening links in new tabs, the tabs are unresponsive as if there was no internet connection. exiting mozilla and re-running it of course "solves" the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux highfield 2.6.11-1-686 #1 Fri May 20 07:34:54 UTC 2005 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages mozilla-firefox depends on: ii debianutils 2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.2.1-13generic font configuration library ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.1-2The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc62.3.2.ds1-21GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:3.5-0pre1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.1-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.2-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libidl0 0.8.3-1 library for parsing CORBA IDL file ii libjpeg626b-9The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libkrb53 1.3.6-3 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libpango1.0-01.8.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.4-11 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.2-5 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxp6 4.3.0-5 X Window System printing extension ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii psmisc 21.4-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii xlibs4.3.0.dfsg.1-11 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
