Hello.
The box is a 9.3/i386 and I'm using portupgrade to compile ports from
source; the desktop environment is XFCE.
Yesterday evening I updated some unrelated ports and some dependencies
of Firefox and Thunderbird were updated: after that, those two
applications were not running properly.
The main window would come up, but never be updated anymore; if I typed
on the keyboard I could perceive something happening under the hood
(other windows popping up, network packets flowing), but I would see
nothing on the screen (the main window would stay exactly as it was when
it opened).
I removed all extensions, but to no avail.
I tried "portupgrade -Rf thunderbird firefox" and let the box compile
all night, but again, no luck.
So I downgraded all the ports that had been updated and FF and TB
started working again.
Then I began updating them one at a time and found the culprit to be
gtk: when upgrading from 2.24.22_4 to 2.24.25 I get the behaviour
described above; after downgrading, both programs work again.
I did the same test on another box (10.0/amd64) and got the same results.
I found the same here with regard to news/pan.
FreeBSD 9.3, AMD64 here.
The stalled GUI update symptom occurs after using the search feature. The
mouse pointer changes from text selection on moving across the search text box
to the paintbrush "clear" button and clicking that button brings the GUI
updates back to life.
I'll try the gtk downgrade and report back.
Or update the gtk20 port to 2.24.25_1. This should fix the UI update
issues in firefox.
