I don't think that this is an opinion if it happens regularly, on any machine I tried (both 32 and 64 bit).
Here are some more hints: It happens every third page when connected to Outlook web access. There are some controls originally written in ActiveX and reimplemented in JavaScript that cause Firefox to hang. Similar pages (e.g. developed with Visual Studio) trigger the same behaviour. Additionally, pages relying strongly on Adobe Flash Controls hang as well. However, I did not pin them down so far. Currently we develop a web site using Jquery, Dojo and other Toolkits. Pages that use them in combination get stuck as well (5 to 6 calls, then a hang for approximately 1 min). Also Firefox hangs in a Mutex_wait indefinitely after 5 to 6 launches. This to me looks like a dead lock somewhere (without having looked into the code of course). I am happy to do further investigation if someone provides the direction. btw: None of this happens with Chromium. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887440 Title: Firefox hangs in Oneric Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Every other page firefox will hang for approximately 1 - 2 minutes.
