Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
Firefox 3.5 on Ubuntu Karmic Koala alpha-2 with all recent updates and a
copied profile from Jaunty tries to do it's usual addon-updates on first
start (3.5 profile initialization). For me the check got stuck after a
specific addon "(User Agent Switcher)" - the dialogue did neither fail
nor state anything about problems, the spinner kept running (see
attached screenshot).
Firefox did not hang itself - clicking "Cancel" worked, but a non
verbose update dialogue running for an hour might bother users.
Attached you'll also find a small strace-snipped showing the most recent
calls which seemed to polled more than once a second.
