I can confirm the freezing often / graying out of Firefox. Hardy 8.04 and Firefox 3.0.5 on Quad Core machine with 3GB RAM. Happens only sometimes with some websites -- I can't find a pattern or common feature of the sites. I ran "top" in an always-on-top terminal in an attempt to trace the problem, but did not notice any application pulling more CPU usage during the freeze. Damnit, just happened now actually! The screen does not always grey-out though -- the browser just "stops" for a few seconds -- the mouse cursor cam be moved around but stays the same as when the freeze started (in other words, I had a text caret cursor now which I could move over the title bar, etc., until the freeze ended). Opened up Tools --> Add-Ons now and screen greyed out for a few seconds.
I *think* this issue only started with the latest update to Firefox which came through the normal Ubuntu updates. I certainly have *not* always experienced this issue with Hardy and FF3. -- Firefox freezes often https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226878 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
