Details

Description: Each time I close firefox, it hangs in memory. I have to open a terminal to "kill -9" to be able to open it again. Moreover when hanging in memory, it sucks all the CPU available.

The only addon I have is Addblock.

Additional info: 3.5.3-1

Steps to reproduce:
- Open Firefox
- Quit Firefox
- htop in a terminal to see firefox in what seem to be an infinite loop
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Works for me

I forgot to mention that I disabled Addblock so I don't have any addons running and it's the same result.

works fine here (both i686 and x86_64) with +35 add-ons installed.

Try under a new config. Do you have some gtk theme installed?

That's weird. My Arch (x86_64) is freshly installed. It's one day old.
I have KDE installed and not Gnome. However I installed the package to make look good software using GTK in a Qt environment.

It happened to me a few times too. It's not always reproducible. Sometime ago I tried to get a backtrace but couldn't make it hang. I believe it's a firefox bug. I'm using firefox 3.5.3-1 in xfce.

I believe it's a gtk-qt-engine bug. I can't reproduce this with any normal GTK engine.

Ok. Is there something I could do to track down this bug ? Did you try to reproduce this bug using the gtk-qt-engine ?

This happens to me as well.
I have flash and vimperator extension, though.
And a default GNOME install without any special gtk engines

You're right bubla, I also have flash (adobe) installed.

I'm using KDE on x86_64 and have flash installed (if it makes any difference). Selecting "Use my KDE style in GTK applications" (I'm using QtCurve) causes this problem for me. Selecting "Use another style" + QtCurve gets rid of this problem.

Using x86_64, GNOME, Murrine GTK engine, gnash. Happens sometimes.

status with ff 3.6?
Comment by Gregory BELLIER (dest) - Saturday, 06 February 2010, 01:05 GMT
There is no difference with Firefox 3.6.
Comment by Ionut Biru (wonder) - Saturday, 06 February 2010, 01:06 GMT
then is clearly not a bug in firefox since is persisting since 3.5.3, or if is it, report it in mozilla bugtracker.
Comment by Gregory BELLIER (dest) - Saturday, 06 February 2010, 14:35 GMT
From what I can tell it's a bug related to firefox when gtk-qt-engine is activated. I haven't experienced this bug with gtk-qt-engine and thunderbird though.

Even if it works for you Giovanni Scafora doesn't mean there isn't any bugs therefore I think this bug report should not be closed.
Comment by Gregory BELLIER (dest) - Saturday, 06 February 2010, 21:54 GMT
Dammit. Because it works for you, you're not even interested in how to reproduce this bug to track it down. This is not very nice of you to even close the discussion. As you can see in the comments, I'm not the only one. If everyone who report a bug which gets closed because it works for the maintainer then it's useless to report.
Comment by Giovanni Scafora (giovanni) - Saturday, 06 February 2010, 21:55 GMT
Dammit.
I cannot reproduce that issue on my local machine!
Comment by Giovanni Scafora (giovanni) - Sunday, 07 February 2010, 00:21 GMT
Just released gtk-qt-engine-1.1-2 in extra.
Please, try it and let me know.
Comment by Gregory BELLIER (dest) - Sunday, 07 February 2010, 09:39 GMT
I upgraded to gtk-qt-engine-1.1-2 and then I activated "Use my KDE style with GTK applications".
I ran Firefox a couple of times without triggering it. Unfortunately, I reproduced it the following times.

Do you have any ideas how I could help you ? If you don't, then feel free to close this bug report.
