** Description changed: Binary package hint: firefox-3.5 On a samsung laptop running karmic (upgraded from jaunty) I started experiencing problems with firefox today. firefox periodically stalls/blocks the system completely. The time interval is around 1min. + + UPDATE: + I am now certain that this is caused by the 'bindwood' plug in. As soon as I + disable the addon and restart firefox the problem is gone. I just realized that the same + behaviour also occurs on my desktop system which also runs karmic To investigate I'm running top, latencytop, iotop and strace on firefox. It looks like the problem is related to firefox writing to places.sql and also some failed attempts to accessing a socket (see strace log file) Let me know if there is other useful info that I can provide to help figuring this out.
