** Description changed: When opening Chrome/Electron-based applications while Firefox is open, Firefox' tab contents stop responding, and it becomes necessary to close Firefox and reopen it. This includes: - VSCode: https://code.visualstudio.com/download - Atom: https://atom.io - Chromium browser Here's a link to a screenshot that shows Firefox with a "loading" waiting icon on the center of the tab (applies to any other open tab) https://imgur.com/PHHr3zt.png This has been happening since Ubuntu 14.04, but my previous report was quickly dismissed. I've done fresh installs for 14.04, 16.04 and 18.04, and the problem persists ever since. OS: Ubuntu Release: 18.04 LTS (other 18.04-based distros such as elementaryOS exhibit the same behavior) Firefox: 74.0.1, 64-bit (although the problem happens since 32-bit 60.x or even earlier) Current Hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad T410s: Intel i5 540M processor, NVidia NVS3100M graphics, 8Gb RAM, 480Gb SSD # Expected behavior - While Firefox is open, any Chrome/Electron-based application that is opened works without affecting Firefox. + While Firefox is open, any Chrome/Electron-based application that is opened works without affecting Firefox, either loaded before or after it. # Observed behavior While Firefox is open, any Chrome/Electron-based application that is opened hangs Firefox, as observed according to the screenshot link provided above. + + Note that if Firefox is loaded *after* Chrome/Electron-based apps, the + above described behavior isn't exhibited.
