[Bug 113201] Re: firefox spends lots of time hung
This bug affects me too. It usually appears on slow connections like GPRS or on connections which have some problems with DNS. Also it appears almost on all connections if i install dnsmasq. But i never seen it on Ethernet connections. When firefox hangs it consumes 100% of CPU. This bug appears when i open new tab, close old, or just switching tabs. Usually clicking on the links doesn't affect it. Running firefox -g and beraking during the hang reveals nothing. It usually breaks in different places but often i see js_Invoke. It is very annoying per se, but the worst thing about it is the short-living X Server windows which firefox uses alot. Say if i open new tab and quickly click on menu "File" firefox opens system-modal menu window and hangs and the entire X server becomes unusable (does not respond to my actions) until firefox resumes. I can't switch to another application, the panels do not respond to my clicks and so on. The duration of the hang depends on number of open tabs. If i open 50 tabs it will be about 90 seconds. When i have 10 open tabs it's about 15 seconds. -- firefox spends lots of time hung https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I figure you may as well close this bug. The symptoms persist and 2.0.0.11 was a major downgrade in stability for me. Several times a day I now have to run `killall firefox-bin` and then start it up again. However I doubt Ubuntu developers are going to spend any time on this, and Firefox developers won't care pointing at the imminent 3.0 release instead. -- firefox spends lots of time hung https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 113201] Re: firefox spends lots of time hung
I was fortunate enough to be on a tropical island with truly awful Internet access (some satellite, lots of latency, sharing with skype users!, periods of several minutes when DNS servers didn't respond at all according to wireshark) and no proxy server configured. When the ISP's DNS servers decided not to respond, firefox (gutsy beta as of two weeks ago) would do this hanging stuff as well. This implies that there are other places synchronous DNS lookups are being done which can also hang the interface. Alternatively maybe it is an extension such as Adblock Plus which I happen to be running everywhere. -- firefox spends lots of time hung https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Jeremy on #mozilla suggested I paste this link to a selection of known 'Firefox hangs': http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_loading_websites_when_using_an_automatic_proxy_configuration_file That one points to the PAC problem in particular - but it sounds like that isn't what you have if it also happens without a PAC; when you use it without a PAC what do you use for the rest of the settings; I just wonder whether you have any IPs in the proxy avoid list (I don't know if FF does a resolve for those).

[Bug 113201] Re: firefox spends lots of time hung
I have had this both with specifying a proxy directly and via a pac. I use isInNet and and shExpMatch when I use my pacs. I also run my own dns server so there shouldn't be an issue with resolving names (although I believe neither of those functions resolve them). -- firefox spends lots of time hung https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 113201] Re: firefox spends lots of time hung
I've also seen this (on Debian Iceweasel) - and hadn't figured out that it was the proxy; looking through the Mozilla bugzilla there seem to be a lot of proxy related hangs: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235853 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306922 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208287 A lot of them seem to be related to doing a DNS lookup so that the PAC script can check by IP address rather than name which is very useful. Do you use a PAC file or specify the proxy directly? IMHO this is a major problem in office situations.

[Bug 113201] Re: firefox spends lots of time hung
Scratch the flash theory - I have found the definitive cause. It occurs if you are using a proxy server. If the proxy server takes a long time to respond to a request then firefox completely hangs. For example right now my ISP is dead (I am using neighbour's wireless to send this). So my internal proxy server takes several minutes to respond to a request as it does dns lookups that ultimately fail and then an error message is returned. The entire firefox interface freezes while waiting on the proxy. For example I had about 10 tabs open and killed firefox. I then told it to restore my session and it took about 5 minutes before the window even appeared. Each tab was blank and clicking had no effect. It then took about another 5 minutes before tabs slowly started filling with the error content from the proxy server. I still couldn't interact with firefox. I then changed the config to use direct connections and killed/restarted the browser. Firefox still tried and failed to contact the sites, but I could at least use the interface and jump amongst the tabs. The evidence points to the firefox UI hanging whenever waiting on a proxy connection. -- firefox spends lots of time hung https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 113201] Re: firefox spends lots of time hung
The versions are at the top. Ubuntu version is Feisty on AMD64 and Firefox is whatever is current (2.0.0.4) The hangs are random and not too frequent so I never know when they are going to happen and running firefox for days under strace just isn't feasible. My current theory is that this is caused by garbage collecting the flash plugin. I think it happens some time after I have used a page with flash and then go onto several others. After a certain amount of time or pages the page that had flash is presumably removed in some way and closing the flash plugin is what hangs the browser for several seconds. -- firefox spends lots of time hung https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
